Absorption Spectrometer |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| Spectrometers are instruments that generate, examine, or record spectrums. In this instance, an absorption spectrometer is being used to determine the spectrum created by an unknown substance. The instrument’s lenses focus and prevent diffraction of the light, while a central prism splits white light into a spectrum of its constituent colors. The colors appearing on the screen represent the radiation wavelengths which the sample did not absorb. | ||||||
