Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The definition for the dark current.
Concept introduction:
A dark current is basically a very small amount of current that flows through a semiconductor device. It is different from the main current flowing through the semiconductor device.
(b)
Interpretation:
The definition of the transducer.
Concept introduction:
A transducer is basically used to convert the one form of energy into the other as per the requirement and its usage. A transducer gives the output signal to be some electric signal for the form of energy provided to it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The definition of the scattered radiation in a monochromator.
Concept introduction:
Scattered radiation is the amount of radiations other than the mainstream radiations and these are produced when the main radiations are obstructed by something.
(d)
Interpretation:
The definition of the source flicker noise.
Concept introduction:
The source flicker noise is a very common noise that is present in almost all of the electronic devices. This noise is due to the varying frequency of the spectrum.
(e)
Interpretation:
The definition of the cell positioning uncertainity.
Concept introduction:
The cell positioning uncertainty is the varying position of the cell connected to some circuit or some device.
(f)
Interpretation:
The definition of the beam splitter.
Concept introduction:
The beam splitter as the name suggests is a device used in the path of the beams to divide or to split the beams into different parts. The beam splitters can be made of several shapes and sizes.
