What is the main disadvantage of a single-beam instrument?
the relative intensities of the bands are different
some peaks may be active in one but not the other
Due to matrix effects
non-spectroscopic interferences
Name the type of source that is made up of a tube that is under vacuum and contains a tungsten filament and an anode.
x-ray tube
What type of instrument uses radiation from the source is split into two beams that simultaneously pass through he reference and sample cells and then strike two separate photodetectors
What is the name for the type of scattering that occurs when an electron is excited to a virtual state, j, and then returns back down to the ground state?
Rayleigh scattering
In an electron multiplier, when an electron hits a ________, a burst of electrons is emitted, which then move on to the next dynode, further increasing the number of electrons.
dynode
Area in the ICP-MS where there is a raid expansion of gas, causing cooling
Expansion stage
X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS)
0In the formula lnP0/P = mu*x , what are P0 and P
P0 = power of incident beam, P = power of radiation after passing through sample
Why can't water be used as a solvent in IR?
Because it absorbs in a large portion of the UV-Vis spectra and will obscure analyte bands
