20
Q

• Such a process is called fluorescence or, under certain conditions, phosphorescence.

• Generally, emission spectroscopy deals with visible light and shorter wavelengths, since fluorescence is
less likely to happen with long wavelengths.

A

EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY

21
Q

EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY

• Examples:

A
  • Fluorescence spectroscopy or fluorometry or
    spectrofluorometry
  • Flame emission spectroscopy
  • X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy
  • Stellar spectroscopy
22
Q

• is the study of electromagnetic radiation spectra absorbed by atoms or molecules that change energy levels; the atoms usually positioned between a radiation source and the observer.

A

ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

23
Q

can be used to determine the concentration of chemical compounds in samples

A

Absorption spectroscopy

24
Q

absorption of infrared radiation,

A

Vibrational spectroscopy

25
Q

is a technique for determining the concentration of a particular metal element in a sample

A

Atomic absorption

26
Q

absorption of ultraviolet and visible light

A

UV/visible spectroscopy

27
Q

Measures the absorption of gamma rays by atoms bound in a solid as a function of gamma-ray energy. This is not an analytical technique; it is a means to understand certain microscopic processes in matter.

A

Mossbauer spectroscopy

28
Q

is the subset of spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum

A

29
Q

is widely used in both research and industry as a simple and reliable technique for measurement, quality control and dynamic measurement.

SCATTERING SPECTROSCOPY

35
Q

One of the most useful applications of light
scattering spectroscopy

A

Raman spectroscopy

36

37
Q

• is a spectroscopic technique used in condensed matter physics and chemistry to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.

A

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

38
Q

• It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range.

A

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

39
Q

• involves interactions with electron beams.
• Auger spectroscopy involves inducing the Auger effect with an electron beam. In this case the measurement typically involves the kinetic energy of the electron as variable.

• is an analytical technique for the determination of the elemental composition of a sample or molecule.

• It is also used for elucidating the chemical
structures of molecules, such as peptides and other chemical compounds.

consists of ionizing chemical
compounds to generate charged molecules or
molecule fragments and measurement of their
mass-to-charge ratios

A

MASS SPECTROMETRY

42
Q

a sample is loaded onto the MS instrument, and its compounds are ionized by different methods (e.g., by impacting them with an electron beam), resulting in the formation of
charged particles (ions).
• The mass-to-charge ratio of the particles is then calculated from the motion of the ions as they transit through electromagnetic fields.

A

MASS SPECTROMETRY

43
Q

consist of three modules: an ion
source, which splits the sample molecules into ions; a mass analyzer, which sorts the ions by their masses by applying electromagnetic fields; and a detector, which measures the value of an indicator quantity and thus provides data for calculating the abundances of each ion present

SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

48

• It is more specific than the general term
electromagnetic spectroscopy in that
spectrophotometry deals with visible light, near-ultraviolet, and near-infrared

A

SPECTROPHOTOMETRY
