Q

This method involves exposing atomic vapors of an
element to UV-VIS radiation, matching the
element’s characteristic frequency. The absorbed
radiation excites electrons from the ground state to
an excited level, reducing radiation intensity. By
measuring this absorption, we can determine the
concentration of atoms in the ground state, typically
in the UV-VIS region of the spectrum.
