Measures light emitted by a single atom burned in a flame
FLAME EMISSION PHOTOMETRY
Measures Light absorbed by atoms in a ground state dissociated bu heat
ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMETRY
light source of AAS
HOLLOW-CATHODE LAMP
used for excited ions
FLAME EMISSION PHOTOMETRY
used for unexcited trace elements (Ca, Mg)
AAS
uses an LED lamp which generates light which passes through a filter and a series of slits
REFLECTANCE PHOTOMETRY
unknown sample is made to react with known solution
VOLUMETRIC (TITRIMETRIC)
Examples of volumetric
