- 4. Two wavelength selectors are needed to select the excitation
and the emission wavelengths. The selected source radiation is
incident on the sample and the radiation emitted is measured,
usually at right angles to avoid scattering.

- 5. A source of thermal energy, such as a flame, produces an
analyte vapor that emits radiation that is isolated by the
wavelengths selector and converted to an electrical signal
by the detector.

- 9. 1. Continuum sources
• emit radiation that changes in intensity only slowly as a
function of wavelength
• Widely use in absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy
for UV region
2. Line sources
• emit a limited number of bands of radiation, each of
which spans a very limited range of wavelength
• Widely used in atomic absorption spectroscopy and in
molecular florescence spectroscopy
• Eg. Hg and Na vapors lamps
•Generate a beam of radiation with sufficient and stable power

- 10. The spectrum of a continuum source (a) is much
broader than that of a line source (b).

- 16. 1. Monochromators and Polychromators
2. Grating
3. Radiation Filters
© Glydenne Glaire P. Gayam
- enhance both the selectivity and the sensitivity
- 17. 1. Monochromators and Polychromators
• Advantage: the output wavelength can be varied
continuously over a considerable spectral range. (the
more common type)
2. Grating – disperse radiation into its component
wavelengths
• Qualitative analysis: narrow slits and minimum effective
bandwidths
• Quantitative analysis: wider slits permit operation at
lower amplification (greater reproductibility

- 18. 3. Radiation Filters
• Advantage: simplicity, ruggedness and cheapness
• Interference filter: effective bandwidths of 5 to 20
nm
• Dielectric material: CaF2 of MgF2
• Absorption filter: effective bandwidths of 50 to 250
nm

- 19. detector: indicates the existence of some physical
phenomenon.
ex: photographic film, pointer of a balance, mercury level in
a thermometer, and human eye
transducer: converts signals, such as light intensity, pH,
mass and temp. into electrical signals that can be
subsequently amplified, manipulated and finally
converted into numbers proportional to the magnitude
of the original signal.
