Spectroscopy
 Introduction
 Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and

electromagnetic radiation.
 Historically, spectroscopy originated through the study of visible
light dispersed according to its wavelength by a prism
 The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and
photon energies
Principle of spectroscopy
 The term "spectroscopy" defines a large number of techniques that use

01
radiation to obtain information on the structure and properties of matter.
 The basic principle shared by all spectroscopic techniques is to shine a

beam of electromagnetic radiation onto a sample, and observe how it
responds to such a stimulus.

History of Spectroscopy
 The began with Isaac Newton's optics experiments (1666–1672).
 Newton applied the word "spectrum" to describe the rainbow of colors that
combine to form white light and that are revealed when the white light is
passed through a prism.
 During the early 1800s, Joseph von Fraunhofer made experimental

advances with dispersive spectrometers that enabled spectroscopy to
become a more precise and quantitative scientific technique.
Why we use spectroscopy?
 Spectroscopy is used as a tool for studying the structures of atoms
and molecules.
 The large number of wavelengths emitted by these systems makes it
possible to investigate their structures in detail.
 Spectroscopy also provides a precise analytical method for finding
the constituents in material having unknown chemical composition.
 In a typical spectroscopic analysis, a concentration of a few parts per
million of a trace elements in a material can be detected through its
emission spectrum

ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY
INTRODUCTION:
 Atomic spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation
absorbed and emitted by atoms.
 Technique for determining the elemental composition of an analyte by its
electromagnetic or mass spectrum.
 It help in understanding of the atom and the atomic process involved.

Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of
elemental composition by its
electromagnetic or mass spectrum. The
study of the electromagnetic spectrum of
elements is called Optical Atomic
Spectroscopy. Electrons exist in energy
levels within an atom. These levels have well
defined energies and electrons moving
between them must absorb or emit energy
equal to the difference between them.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is an instrumental technique for the quick
analysis of trace metals. It is based on the element-specific absorption of
light by ground-state atoms in a flame or electrothermal graphite furnace.
It has vast applications in the study of trace metals in soils, lakes, rivers,
seas, and drinking water, as well as pharmaceuticals, foods and
beverages, geological and mineral samples, petroleum products,
biological fluids. specimens, and forensic investigation
Principle of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is predicated on the idea that unbound
atoms in the ground state can absorb light of a particular wavelength. Atomic
absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is predicated on the idea that unbound atoms in
the ground state can absorb light of a particular wavelength. The technique's
exceptional specificity and detection limits in AAS analysis are a result of its
utilization of these wavelengths. Each element's absorption is unique, and no
other elements absorb the same wavelength.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is a fairly priced technology for instrumental

analysis that gives accurate and precise findings. It belongs in academic
laboratories, pollution control laboratories, and industry quality control
laboratories due to its high analytical throughput.
Uses of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Atomic absorption spectroscopy offers cost-effective viable

solutions for the analysis of trace amounts of metals in all
natural and manmade materials, including geological samples,
environmental samples, biological specimens, agricultural
produce and soils, pharmaceuticals, foods, and drinking water.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a popular technology that
requires a moderate initial investment and low operating
expenses

8. Forensics
Types of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
These days, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)

systems are reasonably priced devices. Some also
anticipate multi-element capabilities. Flame (F AAS),
Cold Vapor (CV AAS), Hydride-Generating (HG
AAS), and Graphite Furnace (GF-AAS) devices are
all forms of AAS.
Instrumentation of AAS
● 1. Atomizer - Before the sample can be analyzed, it must be atomized. Atomization
is a crucial stage in AAS since it determines the reading's sensitivity. An efficient
atomizer generates a high quantity of uniformly free atoms. Although there are
numerous types of atomizers, only flame and electrothermal atomizers are routinely
utilized.
● 2. Radiation Source – The atomized sample is irradiated by a radiation source. A
portion of the radiation is absorbed by the sample, with the remainder passing
through the spectrometer to a detector. There are two types of radiation sources: line
sources and continuous sources. Line sources excite the analyte, which emits its
own spectrum of lines. Radiation from continuum sources is dispersed over a
broader range of wavelengths.
● 3. Spectrometer - Spectrometers are used to distinguish between different types of

light wavelengths before they reach the detector. Single-beam or double-beam
spectrometers may be utilized in AAS.
●
Learning Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
The awareness of and demand for testing of materials

existed in antiquity and have evolved in tandem with the
advancement of human civilization. Today, it is
impossible to conceive of any manufactured product, be
it a machine tool, glass ornamental item, food product,
medicine, plasticware, or any other product, that has not
been subjected to quality control utilizing analytical
techniques at some point during its production.
