Abstract
Optical spectrometry is the technique of measuring the intensity of absorption or emission of radiation in the ultraviolet—visible region of the spectrum. In analytical applications, these measurements are made by exciting, in various ways, transitions of electrons between outer orbitals of atoms, ions or molecular species. In most applications, it is necessary to dissolve the sample before analysis.
