According to Moseley, a straight-line graph is obtained on plotting:
| 1. | The frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers.
|
| 2. | The square of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers.
|
| 3. | The square root of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers.
|
| 4. | The reciprocal of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers. |
