The principle is that each element has a specific wavelength for absorption. As in the molecular spectrophotometry the Lambert-Beer equation is used. The samples to be analyzed are atomized by different techniques (flame, graphite tube). The method is very useful because is accurate and specific. We need of course a series of standard solutions for each element.
Digest (dissolve) a small portion of the brass in nitric acid. Then test the sample for copper content using an atomic emission or atomic absorption spectrometer.
ability of instrument to determine its desired elements
Because it is Gosh get with the programme guys
A very accurate mass spectrometer is needed.
Atomic absorption is more sensitive to atomic emission when the excitation potential is greater than 3.5eV.
spectrometer
An analytical instrument is the instrument used to determine the chemical composition of materials, qualitatively or quantitatively; ex.: internally coupled plasma mass spectrometer, polarograph, atomic absorption spectrometer, X-ray spectrometer, coulometer, Karl Fischer titrator, etc.

Actually in mass spectrometer the isotopes of an element are separated by applying magnetic field.Each isotope is then compared with carbon-12 to get the atomic mass of that isotope.

Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
