A strong pulsed laser with a 266 nm wavelength is being used to excite a sample. You find two peaks in your emission spectrum, one at 505 nm and another at 532 nm. You expected to find the 505 nm peak from your literature search. The 532 nm peak is not reported in any papers. What might be the cause? How could you test your hypothesis?

In high-temperature sources, sodium atoms emit a doublet with an average wavelength of 1139 nm. The transition responsible is from the 4s to 3p state. Set up a spreadsheet to calculate the ratio of the numberof excited atoms in the 4s state to the number in the ground 3s state over the temperature range from anacetylene-oxygen flame (3000°C) to the hottest part of an inductively coupled plasma source (8750°C).

#28 the base peak in a mass spectrum is the peak corresponding to the maximum mass. True or False
A spectrophotometer selects for a specific wavelength by: Group of answer choices Adjusting the amplifier settings. Adjusting energy input into the lamp. Changing aperture size. A set of wavelength filters. Modifying the detector sensitivity.
True or False 1. Photodiode arrays are devices within the instrument that help amplify the signal of a sample. 2. Atomic spectroscopy requires the atomization of a sample, which involves nebulization and eventually volatilization to form an elemental vapor. 3. Organic compounds are normally analyzed in atomic spectroscopy despite their small electronic transition range.
