Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry: Principle, Parts, Uses

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry is a widely used analytical technique that involves the measurement of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by atoms in the gas phase. Spectrophotometry is a scientific technique that involves the determination of the concentration of elements present … Read more

Emulsion: Definition, Properties, Types, Uses

Emulsion

Emulsions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of two or more immiscible liquids, where one liquid is dispersed in the form of tiny or even ultramicroscopic droplets that are distributed throughout the other liquid. These structures are typically generated through the incorporation … Read more

Atomization Methods Used in AAS: Advantages, Disadvantages

Atomization methods used in AAS

Atomization is the process of producing atoms available for absorbance measurement. Atomic absorption analysis is based on generating and supply of free analyte atoms in the ground state to light the element’s characteristic wavelength. Atomic absorption spectrometry, like other spectrochemical techniques, is used to … Read more

Schrodinger Wave Equation: Significance of Ψ and Ψ2

Schrodinger wave equation

The Schrodinger wave equation describes a particle’s behavior in a force field or changing a physical parameter over time.  Erwin Schrodinger was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933 for his discovery. Erwin Schrodinger developed a wave equation using de-Broglie’s theory of particle-wave duality.  Schrodinger … Read more
