3. Frequently Asked Question

Q: What is mean of Ka and Kb in quantitative profile?

in a qualitative profile, Ka and Kb are appended after the chemical symbol. What are these?

A:

These are spectral line names.Multiple lines are generated by a single element.
FeKa: FeKα
FeKb: FeKβ
FeLa: FeLα
FeLb1: FeLβ₁
