Question

Q.2. (a) An atomic absorption spectrometer requires a very different light source than does an instrument for molecular absorption. Describe the light source used by each instrument and explain why these two instruments need such different light sources. As part of your answer, explain the consequences if you interchange the two types of sources. (b) IR Spectroscopy has various sources for producing IR spectrum but we cannot use these in X-ray and Mass Spectroscopy, give an explanation.

Regarding atomic absorption spectroscopy: 1. Why does the hollow cathode lamp need to be made up of the same element that is being analysed? 2. Why does the hollow cathode lamp and the flame itself, emit light of the same wavelength?

2. What part of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelength range) occupies the infrared region and from it which specific range is used with the organic molecules. ? 3. In general, how do you compare the radiations of IR with UV, X-ray and microwave radiation in terms of energy? Organize in increasing order. 4. What causes exposure or proximity in humans: a) to an IR lamp, b) spending an hour under the sun, c) taking a plate with X-rays or obtaining an MRI? Explain in detail and then justify the why? Describe in detail the effect that an a) IR, b) UV and c) microwave radiation has on an organic compound?

00:01 Hi, in this question we need to find out light source that are used in atomic absorption and molecular absorption.
00:06 In atomic absorption, light source used argon or xenon lamp and in molecular absorption observed by lamp that emits long wavelength.
00:32 This argon or xenon arc lamp produces short wavelength.
00:43 Argon or xenon lamp light is absorbed by atoms and long wavelengths are absorbed by molecules.
01:19 If resources are exchanged, atomic absorption will not occur and molecular, absorption will change into atomic absorption because in atomic absorption high energy is required and in molecular absorption low energy is required this is low e and this is high e if in atomic absorption high energy is required then giving low energy lamp or light atomic absorption will not occur and in molecular absorption if we give high e then or high energy, then the molecular absorption will change into atomic absorption.
02:38 Next we need to find out why ir cannot be used in extra and mass spectroscopy...
