Wavelengths atomic spectra

In 1817, Josef Fraunhofer (1787-1826) studied the spectrum of solar radiation, observing a continuous spectrum with numerous dark lines. Fraunhofer labeled the most prominent of the dark lines with letters. In 1859, Gustav Kirchhoff (1824-1887) showed that the D line in the solar spectrum was due to the absorption of solar radiation by sodium atoms. The wavelength of the sodium D line is 589 nm. What are the frequency and the wavenumber for this line ...

X-rays can easily determine the presence of PVC via the chlorine atom. Single wavelength infrared is used to separate clear (PET and PVC), translucent (HDPE and PP), and opaque (all pigmented materials and colored HDPE) streams. Full-spectrum infrared can detect differences in... 

To produce this type of atomic emission in a pyrotechnic system, one must produce sufficient heat to generate atomic vapor in the flame, and then excite the atoms from the ground to various possible excited electronic states. Emission intensity will increase as the flame temperature increases, as more and more atoms are vaporized and excited. Return of the atoms to their ground state produces the light emission. A pattern of wavelengths, known as an atomic spectrum, is produced by each element. This pattern - a series of lines - corresponds to the various electronic... 

ATOMIC SPECTRA. An atomic spectrum is the spectrum of radiation emitted by an excited atom, due to changes within the atom in contrast to radiation arising from changes in the condition of a molecule. Such spectra are characterized by more or less sharply defined lines," corresponding to pronounced maxima ai certain frequencies or wavelengths, and representing radiation quanta of definite energy. 

Atomic Spectra The emission spectrum of elements consists of discrete sharp lines having different wavelength separated by dark bands is called atomic spectrum. It is characteristic of an element. Each element has a characteristic pattern of lines. 

The sodium D-line is actually a pair of closely spaced spectroscopic lines seen in the emission spectrum of sodium atoms. The wavelengths are centered at 589.3 nm. The intensity of this emission makes it the major source of light (and causes the yellow color) in the sodium arc light.

The principle of atomic absorption analysis (AAS) is based on the fact that atoms absorb radiation at the same wavelength at which they emit. The sample is atomized in the light path of a radiation source emitting the atomic spectrum of the analysed element, and the extent of absorbed radiation (absorbance) is proportional to the concentration of the element. 

The distribution of the spectral lines of each individual element is not random. It was discovered first empirically and also later shown theoretically that the wavelengths of the lines of the simple atomic spectra can be fitted to simple series formulae with great accuracy. Furthermore, many of the lines in the simple spectra occur in small groups which are called multiplets, such as doublets of the alkali metals or triplets of the alkaline earths. There is also a constant difference between the wavenumbers of the two components of some doublets or two of the three components of some triplets. For example, the two lines of each doublet are separated by 17 cm" in the atomic spectrum of sodium (Table 3). This has been shown by Ritz to be a direct consequence of a general rule named the combination principle. According to this principle, for each atom or molecule there is a set of spectral terms...
