Calibration for atomic emission showing self-absorption.
Q. Define a flame-like plasma.
Q. Why is the greatest analytical sensitivity observed in a plasma compared with a flame?
Q. Why do some plasmas exhibit less self-absorption?
Q. If the analyte was distributed evenly throughout the plasma, how would this affect the linear
dynamic range?
4.3 Flame Atomic Emission Spectrometry.
A wide range of instrumentation may be employed for flame atomic emission spectrometry, from filter
photometers to highly sophisticated
