	Absorption Spectroscopy
		Absorption spectroscopy is used in chemistry and physics to identify the characteristic and unchanging absorption spectrum for specific elements and compounds.
		The absorption of quanta of light by substances is determined by the promotion and demotion of electrons to and from atomic and molecular orbitals, and the measured wavelengths are individual and unique to each substance.
		In absorption spectroscopy, x-rays can be used to reveal the chemical composition of a substance, and different isomers are revealed by near ultraviolet to near infrared wavelengths.

	Atomic Absorption
		The principle used in atomic absorption spectroscopy was first discovered in 1802 by Wollaston when he observed the "Fraunhofer lines" or absorption lines in the spectrum of the sun.
		In atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, a light source is used to excite some of the ground state atoms in the flame.
		In atomic absorption the method is based on the attenuation (weakening) of a beam of nearly monochromatic light as a consequence of its interaction with and partial absorption by the ground state atoms of the element being analyzed.

	Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atomic absorption spectroscopy in analytical chemistry is a technique for determining the concentration of a particular metal element within a sample.
		Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy was first developed during the 1950s by a team of Australian chemists, lead by Alan Walsh, working at the CSIRO (Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organisation) Division of Chemical Physics, in Melbourne Australia.
		The absorption in the presence and absence of a magnetic field can be compared, the difference being the atomic absorption of interest.

	Spectroscopy Summary
		Unlike other spectroscopies in which the absorption, emission, or scattering of radiation is interpreted as a function of energy, photoelectron spectroscopy measures the kinetic energy of the electrons(s) ejected by x-ray radiation.
		The measurement of the absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by atoms or molecules is referred to as spectroscopy.
		Spectroscopy is the study of spectra, that is, the dependence of physical quantities on frequency.

	Journal of Analytical-Science.com : Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
		Since atomic absorption is relatively inexpensive and fast and requires only a minimum of proper laboratory training, it is an excellent technique for performing first-run analyses of industrial metals.
		Soils are ideal for atomic absorption since the particles are already in a finely ground state and often are composed of water-soluble metal salts that lend themselves readily to atomization and analysis.
		Atomic absorption instruments are single beam, since it would be extremely difficult to produce a reference beam with its own nebulizer and flame identical to the sample beam.

	Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
		The technique of flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) requires a liquid sample to be aspirated, aerosolized, and mixed with combustible gases, such as acetylene and air or acetylene and nitrous oxide.
		Flame atomic absorption hardware is divided into six fundamental groups that have two major functions: generating atomic signals and signal processing.
		Atomic absorption spectrometry is a fairly universal analytical method for determination of metallic elements when present in both trace and major concentrations.

	Atomic absorption Spectroscopy
		Atomic absorption methods measure the amount of energy (in the form of photons of light, and thus a change in the wavelength) absorbed by the sample.

	Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
		Atomic absorption absorption spectroscopy (AA or AAS) is one of the commonest instrumental methods for analyzing for metals and some metalloids.
		Since the basis for the AAS process is atomic ABSORPTION, the monochromator seeks to only allow the light not absorbed by the analyte atoms in the flame to reach the PMT.
		The signal is therefore a decrease in measure light: atomic absorption spectroscopy.

	Instant Notes In Spectroscopy
		UV-Vis Spectroscopy is a technique which is based on the measurement of light absorbed by molecules and inorganic complexes.

		Since the transitions are between distinct atomic energy levels, the emission lines in the spectra are narrow.
		Most absorption spectroscopy of organic compounds is based on transitions of n or p electrons to the p* excited state.
		This is because the absorption peaks for these transitions fall in an experimentally convenient region of the spectrum (200 - 700 nm).

		Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES or OES) uses quantitative measurement of the optical emission from excited atoms to determine analyte concentration.
		As in AA spectroscopy, the sample must be converted to free atoms, usually in a high-temperature excitation source.
		Since the atomic emission lines are very narrow, a high-resolution polychromator is needed to selectively monitor each emission line.

		Atomic-absorption (AA) spectroscopy uses the absorption of light to measure the concentration of gas-phase atoms.
		Applying the Beer-Lambert law directly in AA spectroscopy is difficult due to variations in the atomization efficiency from the sample matrix, and nonuniformity of concentration and path length of analyte atoms (in graphite furnace AA).
		The main purpose of the monochromator is to isolate the absorption line from background light due to interferences.

		Spectroscopy is a technique that uses the interaction of energy with a sample to perform an analysis.
		A spectrum is a plot of the intensity of energy detected versus the wavelength (or mass or momentum or frequency, etc.) of the energy.

	Atomic Absorption and Emission Spectra
		An absorption spectrum occurs when light passes through a cold, dilute gas and atoms in the gas absorb at characteristic frequencies; since the re-emitted light is unlikely to be emitted in the same direction as the absorbed photon, this gives rise to dark lines (absence of light) in the spectrum.
		Emission or absorption processes in hydrogen give rise to series, which are sequences of lines corresponding to atomic transitions, each ending or beginning with the same atomic state in hydrogen.
		Because of the details of hydrogen's atomic structure, the Balmer Series is in the visible spectrum and the Lyman Series is in the the UV.
