4. Light emission Flashcards
What does Emission mean?
Emission means to give off something, in our case light.
How can prism and optical grating participate in emission?
Prism or optical grating is used to decompose light emerging from the light source into its emission spectrum.
What is MONOCHROMATOR?
an optical component that selects a narrow wavelength range from the incident light by using either…
- dispersion on a prism
- or diffraction on an optical grating.
The entrance slit, prism or optical grating and exit slit are altogether called the __.
monochromator
Fill the gap
light intensity depends on the ___ (which device?), thus the corresponding width of the wavelength interval
width of the slit → The greater the slit-width, the greater the intensity
The role of The detector
It produces electric current proportional to intensity of light passing through the emission slit.
What is EMISSION SPECTRUM:?
emitted light intensity (J ) versus wavelength ().
→ It may be continuous, band or line spectrum
3 types of emission spectra
→ It may be continuous, band or line spectrum
Describe the spectrum produced by a prism
The spectrum produced by a prism is not linear, as dispersion is a nonlinear function of the wavelength.
Describe the spectrum produced by an optical grating
→ What is the disadvantage
has a linear wavelength dependence and hence a linear wavelength scale (Fig.3).
(The disadvantage of the grating over the prism is its low light utilization efficiency.)
Disadvantage of optical grating over prism
The disadvantage of the grating over the prism is its low light utilization efficiency.
What is the source of thermal radiation?
the thermal motion of the atoms, molecules, as they all have charges inside.
What is thermal radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of particles in matter.
Every material having nonzero absolute temperature (T> 0) emits___
thermal radiation
The role of spectrometer
device that registers emission spectra by plotting the intensity versus wavelength graph.
How does a SPECTROMETER work?
Light from the light source enters through the entrance slit into the monochromator, where an optical grating decomposes it into its wavelength components.
→ The optical grating is rotated by a motor, thus different parts of the spectrum fall onto the exit slit.
→ The intensity of light selected by the slit is measured by a photodetector (photomultiplier or photodiode).
→ Primary electric current of the detector is amplified by the amplifier and is recorded by the X -Y plotter.
