  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. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    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. 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 ...

  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.

    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 ...

  7. Elliott formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_formula

    The Elliott formula describes analytically, or with few adjustable parameters such as the dephasing constant, the light absorption or emission spectra of solids.It was originally derived by Roger James Elliott to describe linear absorption based on properties of a single electron–hole pair.

  9. Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_absorption_spectroscopy

    Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) measures the concentration of specific elements in a sample by analyzing their unique "fingerprint" in the form of an atomic absorption spectrum. Here's how it works: Step 1: Sample Preparation:** The sample is typically dissolved in a suitable solvent (acids, water) to create a liquid solution.
