A K-alpha or Kα line analogous to the Lyman-alpha line for hydrogen, occur in the high-energy induced emission spectra of all chemical elements, since it results from the same electron transition as in hydrogen. The equation for prediction of the frequency of this line (usually in the X-ray range for heavier elements), uses the same base-frequency as Lyman-alpha, but modified by a (Z-1)2 factor to account for differing atomic numbers (Z) between elements, and is expressed as Moseley's Law . The Lyman-alpha line and the rest of the hydrogen Lyman spectral series are most simply described by the empiric Rydberg Equation and and semi-classic Bohr Model of the atom.
