Abstract
X-ray K-line intensity ratiosα 2/α 1,β 3/β 1 andβ II2 /β I2 have been calculated following the method due to Payne which accounts for the retardations. In addition screening has been included. It is found thatα-line intensity ratios are given best by Sommerfeld screening but that Slater screening is better for theβ-lines. Field theoretically corrected energies have also been used and it is found that the agreement is less favourable. The necessity of including the potentials corresponding to these effects as perturbations to the wavefunctions has been pointed out.
