Atomic Spectroscopy
Atomic spectroscopy is a branch of analytical chemistry that involves the study of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed or emitted by atoms. This field encompasses techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, which are used to analyze the elemental composition of samples. By measuring the unique spectral lines produced by different elements, atomic spectroscopy can provide valuable information about the concentration and identity of elements present in a sample. This information is crucial in various industries, including environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
