Absorption spectra |
|
It is used in determining the composition of matter. |
It is also used in determining the composition of matter. |
|
It is used a light source and spectrophotometer. |
It also used a light source and spectrophotometer. |
|
It measures the wavelength of the emitted light after the atoms are excited with heat. |
The absorption spectra measures the wavelength absorbed by the atom |
|
It emits all the colours in the electromagnetic spectrum |
In absorption spectra, few colours are missing because of the redirection of the re-emission of absorbed photons. |
