K-beta
Encyclopedia
K-beta emissions, similar to K-alpha
emissions, result when an electron transitions to the innermost "K" shell (principal quantum number 1) from a 3p orbital of the second or "M" shell (with principal quantum number 3).
Values can be found in the X-Ray Transition Energies Database.
