Spectroscopic Method Flashcards
Study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and matter.
Spectroscopy
Method when a photon is absorbed by an atom or molecule which undergoes transition from lower energy stateto higher energy state
Absorption spectroscopy
Occurs when an atom or molecule in an excited state returns to a lower energy state, and the excess energy is often released as photon
Emission spectroscopy
Emission following the absorption of a photon is called ____
Photoluminescence
Emission following a chemical reaction is called
Chemiluminescence
Choose the correct order of spectroscopic instrumentation.
A. Source, wavelength selector, sample container, detector, readout
B. Detector, source, wavelength selector, sample container, readout
C. Readout, detector, sample container, wavelength selector, source
A
Source of radiation in spectroscopic methods can either be ____ or _____ sources
Continuum kr line sources
Source of radiation in spectroscopic methods can either be ____ or _____ sources
Continuum or line sources
Lamp that emits radiation over a broad range of wavelengths, with a relatively smooth variation in intensity
Continuum sources
Lamp that emits radiation at selected wavelengths
Line sources
Highly useful line sirce because of their high intensities, narrow bandwidth, abd coherent nature of outputs
Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation)
Uses either absorption or constructive and destructive interference to control the range of selected wavelengths
Filter
Since filter can’t perform continuous selection of wavelengths,____ is used.
Monochromator
Sample container in spectroscopic methods that’s made of quartz, glass, and silica
Cuvette or cells
A device that identifies, records, or indicates a change in one of the variables in it’s environment
Detector
