What is Spectroscopy?
Spectroscopy: The study or
measurement of lights colour
or ‘wavelength’
Spectrometer: An
instrument to measure the
wavelength of light
Spectrum: A plot of the
colour profile (wavelengths
present)
Colour and Wavelength
Light can be many
different colours
Each colour of light is
different to the other
Because each colour of
light has a different
wavelength!
Colour and Wavelength
The wavelength λ of light is
the distance point to point of
a wave of light
The ‘visible’ light ranges
from violet light 400nm up to
red 700nm
The shorter the wavelength
the more energy the light
has
λ
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Light is a form of
‘electromagnetic wave’
Visible light is only a very
small section of the range
of wavelengths!
See if you recognize any
others
• So how does a spectrometer
work?
• The answer lies with
dispersion
Measuring the Wavelength of Light
So if a nanometer is 1
millionth of a millimeter,
how do we measure the
wavelength of light?
We certainly can’t use a
ruler!
So we must use other means,
we must use a spectrometer
Measuring the Wavelength of Light
When light passes through a
small slit (grating) or prism it
‘spreads out’ or disperses
The longer the wavelength
the further it disperses
Each wavelength spreads
differently due to the
formula
n.λ=d.sinθ
• This dispersion creates a
spectra, which we can record
using a camera to analyze
• This is the basis of
spectroscopy
Spectroscopy
There are three main types of spectra within spectroscopy
Continuum: Broad bands of
many wavelengths
Emission: Only some
specific wavelengths
present
Absorption: Some specific
wavelengths missing
(Absorbed)
Spectroscopy
In professional spectrometers the intensity of the light is
plotted vs. the position of the light on the camera,
With a little math we can then convert this to intensity of the
light vs. the wavelength of the light
Spectroscopy
Continuum spectra are most commonly due to thermal energy being
released from a sample at all wavelengths (Black body radiation)
The broad release of energy will have certain shape of intensity
which can often be used to determine the rough temperature of the
sample
Emission and Absorption spectra hold much more information about
the sample and are what we look for in spectroscopy.
But why? The answer is atomic fingerprints!
Atomic Emission – Atom Fingerprints
When atoms are excited
electrons can move up into
the outer rings
Electrons will release energy
in the form of light to return
to their original state
For each element the
spectrum of light is specific
like a fingerprint
Atomic Absorption - Atom Fingerprints
Similar to atomic emission but
the process is reversed
Fingerprints of light are
absorbed rather than emitted
Electron is excited up and
releases the energy in other
forms
Usually requires the sample to
be in a gaseous state
Atom Fingerprints
If we can capture these
atomic spectra with a
spectrometer we can read
these ‘fingerprints’
Using reference tables we
can determine what
elements are present
It’s nearly like looking at the
sample’s recipe!
Ingredients:
1 Tsp Carbon
1 Tbsp Hydrogen
1 Tsp Oxygen
Pinch of Potassium
Example – Fluorescent Bulb
We can see the change to the
‘new’ style of bulb has less
continuum this is due to less
energy wasted into heat energy
We can also see that the
mercury spectrum matches up
with lines in the spectra
showing the presence of
mercury in the bulbs
Fluorescent Bulb Old Style
Fluorescent Bulb New Style
Mercury Spectrum
Example – Multi element Source
