INTRODUCTION: In atomic spectroscopy the samples are vaporized at 2000-8000k. The process of this involves two steps ‚ one is atomization of sample and the other is absorption of light radiation from light source. The atoms in the vapour are measured by absorption or emission at characteristic wave lengths. The main usage of this was to detect one element from another in the complex sample which has taken ie.‚ it has ability to perform multiple element analyses. Absorbance should obey Beer’s law
