I Fort The Question Asked "what Is The Purpose Of The Light Source" Only!!! (what Is The Purpose Of The Light Source And Flame) Omfg Im Gonna Go Kill Myself Cos I Most A Mark!! Fuck!
einsteinthe2nd said:The light source produces an emmission spectrum which coincides with the wavelength that the element or metal being vaporised will absorb, and then raise to a higher energy level. The light source will pass through the sample and light of a particular wavelength will be absorbed by the element, meaning the overall intensity of the light recieved by the detector will be reduced as some of it is absorbed.
NO FUCKING MENTION OF FLAME. Its so hard not to be pissed off with yourself when you know this stuff and you make stupid fucking mistakes.....I think I will like somehow, block this forum part off so I don't return to here to find more mistakes I have made.
