Abstract The Ag-Kα and Ag-Kβ fluorescence lines induced by Rh X-ray tube have been observed. The Ag Kβ/Kα intensity ratios for pure Ag and for Ag-Cu alloys have been obtained. The results have been compared with multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock predictions and available experimental values. Strong dependence between measured Kβ1,3/Kα1,2 and Kβ1,2,3/Kα1,2 ratios and the composition of Ag-Cu alloy has been found out. For both ratios the same tendency is visible: decrease of the Kβ/Kα intensity ratios with increasing of Ag content.
