Principles of Instrumental Analysis
- 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).arrow_forwardThe intensity of the radiation from an object is found to be a maximum at 2000 cm−1. Assuming that the object is a black body, calculate its temperature.arrow_forwardCalculate the vibrational energy of the v = 2 state of 1H127 I relative to the ground state, including the anharmonic corrections.arrow_forward
- In general, how do IR radiations compare in energetic magnitude with those of UV, X-rays and microwave ones? Do I validate it with the frequency values (Hz) or with the wavelength values (cm)?arrow_forwardA vibrating HI molecule may be treated as an oscillating H atom and a stationary I atom. By what factor will the vibrational frequency of the molecule change when H is replaced by deuterium?arrow_forwardA space probe was designed to see 13CO in the atmosphere of Saturn by looking for lines in its rotational spectrum. If the bond length of CO is 112.8 pm, at what wave number do the first three rotational transitions appear?arrow_forward
- How fast would a particle of mass 1.0 g need to travel to have the same linear momentum as a photon of rad iation of wavelength 300 nm?arrow_forwardwhy is it necessary to choose wavelengths at which the two components have different molar absorptivities?arrow_forwardDiscuss the fundamentals of fluorescencearrow_forward
- Create a fluorometer schematic diagram and in a spectrofluorimetric analysis, why is it required to set both the excitation and emission wavelengths to their maximum values?arrow_forwardThe space immediately surrounding stars, the circumstellar space, is significantly warmer because stars are very intense black-body emitters with temperatures of several thousand kelvin. Discuss how such factors as cloud temperature, particle density, and particle velocity may affect the rotational spectrum of CO in an interstellar cloud. What new features in the spectrum of CO can be observed in gas ejected from and still near a star with temperatures of about 1000 K, relative to gas in a cloud with temperature of about 10 K? Explain how these features may be used to distinguish between circumstellar and interstellar material on the basis of the rotational spectrum of CO.arrow_forwardA solution of a certain component of a biological sample when placed in an absorption cell of path length 1.00 cm transmits 18.1 per cent of ultraviolet radiation of wavelength 320 nm incident upon it. If the concentration of the component is 0.139 mmol dm−3, what is the molar absorption coefficient?arrow_forward
