Moseley pointed out that elements with atomic numbers 43, 61, and 75 should exist and (at that time) had not been found. 

(a) Using Figure 4-19, what frequencies would Moseley’s graphical data have predicted for the K_a x ray for each of these elements?
(b) Compute the wavelengths for these lines predicted by Equation 4-37.
