The energy of characteristic x rays tend to increase for heavier elements
because the charge of the nucleus increases.
X ray is a form of an electromagnetic spectrum and the energy is directly
proportional to the charge of the nucleus. This implies that an increase in
the nucleus charge will lead to a corresponding increase in x ray energy
and vice versa.
X rays energy is also usually more in heavier elements than when
compared to lighter elements
