In the spectrum below, identify as many peaks as you can in the X-ray fluorescence spectrum of soil from the location where water from the roof of a house drips onto the ground. For each KαKα peak, state where the KβKβpeak should appear, and state whether there is a plausible peak at the KβKβ position. There must be a KβKβ for every KαKα, but the KβKβ intensity should be only ~1/5 - 1/5 of the KαKα intensity.
