    Given below are two statements about X-ray spectra of elements : Statement (I) : A plot of v(v=\sqrt{v}(v = frequency of X-rays emitted) vs atomic mass is a straight line. Statement (II) : A plot of v(v=v(v = frequency of X-rays emitted) vs atomic number is a straight line. In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below :
