In fact,historically [1], spectroscopyreferred to the use of visible lightdispersed according to itswavelength, by a prism. Laterthe concept was expanded greatlyto comprise any measurement of aquantity as function of eitherwavelength or frequency. Thus italso can refer to a response to analternating field or varyingfrequency ( ). A further extensionof the scope of the definition added energy (E) as a variable, once the very closerelationship E = h for photons was realized (h is the Planck constant).
• → Atomic absorption spectroscopy (often called AA) - This method commonly uses a pre-burner nebulizer (or nebulizing chamber) to create a sample mist and a slot-shaped burner which gives a longer pathlength flame. The temperature of the flame is low enough that the flame itself does not excite sample atoms from their ground state. The
