Objectives of Flame Photometry:

We start the unit with an understanding of the origin and categorization of different kinds of atomic spectroscopic methods. After that we will take up the principle of flame photometry that is followed through the instrumental aspects of flame photometry. Within the end we will take up a few qualitative and quantitative applications of flame photometry. In the further you would learn about atomic fluorescence spectrometry.

Objectives

After studying this unit, you will be able to:

• Describe atomic spectroscopic methods and classify them,
• Elaborates different characteristics of atomic spectrum and contrast them with that of the molecular spectrum,
• Elaborates the principle of flame photometry,
• Draw a schematic figure illustrating different components of a flame photometer,
• Enlist an application of flame photometry,
• Describes the factors affecting flame photometric determinations, and
• State the limitations or merits of the flame photometric technique.
