			In [[X-ray spectroscopy]], '''K-alpha''' emission lines result when an electron transitions to the innermost "K" shell (principal quantum number 1) from a 2p orbital of the second or "L" shell (with principal quantum number 2). The line is actually a doublet, with slightly different energies depending on [[spin-orbit interaction]] energy between the electron spin and the orbital momentum of the 2p orbital. K-alpha is typically by far the strongest X-ray spectral line for an element bombarded with energy sufficient to cause maximally intense X-ray emission.

			The analogous K-alpha spectra line in hydrogen is known as [[Lyman alpha]]; however because of hydrogen's small nuclear charge, this line is in the ultraviolet, not the X-ray range. See [[Siegbahn notation]] for the newer [[IUPAC]]-recommended spectral notation system.

			An example of K-alpha lines are those seen for iron as iron atoms radiating X-rays spiralling into a [[black hole]] at the center of a galaxy [http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0405337]. For such purposes, the energy of the line is adequately calculated to 2-digit accuracy by the use of [[Moseley's law]]: <math>E = (10.2 eV)\left(Z-1\right)^2</math>, where Z is the atomic number. For example, K-alpha for iron (Z = 26) is calculated in this fashion as 10.2 eV (25)<sup>2</sup> = 6.38 keV energy. For astrophysical purposes, [[Doppler effect\|Doppler]] and other effects (such as gravitational broadening) show the iron line to no better accuracy than 6.4 keV.

			== Values of Transition Energies ==
			*Values of different kinds of transition energies like K<sub><math>\alpha</math></sub>, K<sub><math>\beta</math></sub>, L<sub><math>\alpha</math></sub>, L<sub><math>\beta</math></sub> and so on for different elements can be found in the NIST X-Ray Transition Energies Database.<ref>[[NIST]] X-Ray Transition Energies Database [http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/XrayTrans/index.html]</ref>
			*K-alpha emission values for hydrogen-like and helium-like ions can be found on Table 1-5 of the LNBL X-Ray Data Booklet <ref>[[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]] X-Ray Data Booklet [http://xdb.lbl.gov/]</ref>
