Question
Why is atomic emission more sensitive to flame instability than atomic absorption or fluorescence?
Step 1
Atomic emission involves the measurement of light emitted by excited atoms in a flame, while atomic absorption involves the measurement of light absorbed by atoms in a flame, and fluorescence involves the measurement of light emitted by atoms after they have Show more…
