Anotations

Scope note:

In emission spectroscopy, use of an energetic medium promotes the excitation of atoms in a sample. The resulting spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted is monitored and analysed using a spectrometer. The most important variant of the technique is atomic emission spectroscopy.
