Three major spectroscopic methods for elemental
analysis atoms are Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Atomic Emission
Spectroscopy, and Atomic Mass Spectroscopy. Briefly describe the
physics behind each of the three methods.
Three major spectroscopic methods for elemental
analysis atoms are Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Atomic Emission
Spectroscopy, and Atomic Mass Spectroscopy. Describe 3-4 major
parts of the experimental setup for each of the three methods.
Explain why atomic emission spectroscopy can be used for
multi-elemental analysis, but atomic absorption is used mostly for
quantification of single element.
Collimated atomic beam, saturated absorption and two-photon
spectroscopy are three methods of Doppler-free laser
spectroscopy.
(i) In each case summarize briefly the principle of how the
Doppler width is reduced or eliminated ,
(ii) Which method (methods) collects (collect) signal from all
atoms illuminated by laser beams?
(iii) In collimated beam spectroscopy the probe laser beam with
the wavelength of 0.5 μm intersects the atomic beam (velocity of
300 m/s) at the angle of 70o (the angle between the wave...

recommended calorimetric method. For samples from an urban
atmosphere, the following results were obtained.

significantly?
Clear answer required please, showing which tests used
When an optical spectroscopic transition is measured, either by
emission or absorption, a so-called lineshape of given intensity
and frequency dependence is obtained. For any spectroscopy there
exist quantum mechanical or other basic connections to all of the
experimental parameters that determine the lineshape. List these
experimental parameters and explain how they are related to the
previously mentioned connections.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the amount
of aluminum in a sample of sunscreen. A blank solution was measured
seven times to determine the detection and quantitation limits of
the spectrometer. The blank readings were as follows: 0.0086,
0.0107, 0.0095, 0.0103, 0.0113, 0.0104, and 0.0094 AU. Determine
the signal at the detection limit and the signal at the limit of
quantitation for this method.
