What are characteristic X-rays?

The characteristic X-rays are emitted when an electron (in atom) makes a transition from a high energy state to a low energy state to fill the vacancy. For example, in Kα X-ray series, the electrons makes transition from the high energy state to the K shell of the atom. The frequency of characteristic X-rays is related to the atomic number of the target element by Moseley’s Law : √ν=a(Z−b) . The frequency of characteristic X-rays depends on the target material (it is independent of the accelerating potential).
