  2. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

    The classical example of a discrete spectrum (for which the term was first used) is the characteristic set of discrete spectral lines seen in the emission spectrum and absorption spectrum of isolated atoms of a chemical element, which only absorb and emit light at particular wavelengths. The technique of spectroscopy is based on this phenomenon.

  3. Atomic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spectroscopy

    With the exception of flames and graphite furnaces, which are most commonly used for atomic absorption spectroscopy, most sources are used for atomic emission spectroscopy. Liquid-sampling sources include flames and sparks (atom source), inductively-coupled plasma (atom and ion source), graphite furnace (atom source), microwave plasma (atom and ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    A spectral line is a weaker or stronger region in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum. It may result from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies. Spectral lines are often used to identify atoms and molecules.

  6. Stark spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_spectroscopy

    Stark spectroscopy (sometimes known as electroabsorption/emission spectroscopy) is a form of spectroscopy based on the Stark effect.In brief, this technique makes use of the Stark effect (or electrochromism) either to reveal information about the physiochemical or physical properties of a sample using a well-characterized electric field or to reveal information about an electric field using a ...

  9. Isosbestic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosbestic_point

    The spectra of basic, acid and intermediate pH solutions are shown. The analytical concentration of the dye is the same in all solutions. In spectroscopy , an isosbestic point is a specific wavelength, wavenumber or frequency at which the total absorbance of a sample does not change during a chemical reaction or a physical change of the sample.
