Dear Revered Members,
Bohr's relation is ΔE = h\(\upsilon\).
That is when an electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy a spectral line of frequency equal to energy difference between the higher and lower orbit is released.
That is \(\upsilon\) = (E2 - E1)/h
Here I assume electron jumps from L shell to K shell, which are denoted by E2 and E1 respectively.
Now, while studying about X ray characteristic spectrum( please see my attachment) for K series line spectrum, electron jumps from L shell to K shell. But the frequency is given as Ek - El = h\(\upsilon\). Shouldn't it be
El - Ek = h\(\upsilon\)?
Please help in this regard.
