    The plot for vapor is a transformation of data Synthetic spectrum for gas mixture ' Pure H 2 O ' (296K, 1 atm) retrieved from Hitran on the Web Information System. [6] Liquid water absorption spectrum across a wide wavelength range [missing source] The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.

  3. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    The infrared absorption spectrum of NASA laboratory sulfur dioxide ice is compared with the infrared absorption spectra of ices on Jupiter's moon, Io credit NASA, Bernard Schmitt, and UKIRT. Absorption spectroscopy is useful in chemical analysis [5] because of its specificity and its quantitative nature. The specificity of absorption spectra ...

  4. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    Emission spectrum of a ceramic metal halide lamp. A demonstration of the 589 nm D 2 (left) and 590 nm D 1 (right) emission sodium D lines using a wick with salt water in a flame The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to electrons making a ...

  5. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    By recording the attenuation of light for various wavelengths, an absorption spectrum can be obtained. In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is how matter (typically electrons bound in atoms) takes up a photon's energy—and so transforms electromagnetic energy into internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). [1]

  6. Absorbance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorbance

    The absorbance spectrum is plotted on a graph of absorbance vs. wavelength. [9] An Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy#Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer will do all this automatically. To use this machine, solutions are placed in a small cuvette and inserted into the holder. The machine is controlled through a computer and, once it has been ...

  7. Absorption band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_band

    In spectroscopy, an absorption band is a range of wavelengths, frequencies or energies in the electromagnetic spectrum that are characteristic of a particular transition from initial to final state in a substance. According to quantum mechanics, atoms and molecules can only hold certain defined quantities of energy, or exist in specific states. [1]

  8. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    Absorption is often determined by measuring the fraction of energy transmitted through the material, with absorption decreasing the transmitted portion. Emission spectroscopy: Emission indicates that radiative energy is released by the material. A material's blackbody spectrum is a

  9. Einstein coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_coefficients

    Emission lines and absorption lines compared to a continuous spectrum. In atomic, molecular, and optical physics, the Einstein coefficients are quantities describing the probability of absorption or emission of a photon by an atom or molecule. [1]
