Abstract
IT is well known that for the excitation of the characteristic X-ray spectra of elements, an electron has first to be removed from some internal level; when this is done, an electron from an outer level jumps to this vacant place, and characteristic radiation is emitted. The spectrum is called K,L,M......according to the level of the atom from which the electron was first removed.
