Spectroscopes are used to determine the elements present in different substances. They do this by separating light into spectra, or different colors. Each element has a unique spectra, just like people each have a unique fingerprint. By looking at the light from a star, for example, a scientist can tell that it contains hydrogen, helium, and other elements. It was discovered that our sun contained helium by using a spectroscope during an eclipse- this was before we'd even discovered helium on earth! Spectroscopes can be used to tell the chemicals that are present in your blood. They can be used to determine if a molten metal is at the correct temperature for an industrial process, and can confirm the percentages of metals in an alloy.

What is Uv-vis spectrometer schmatic and block diagrams?
cac
What is the function of an ionization chamber?
the ionization chamber ionizes atoms into ions in the in the mass spectrometer
What is UV-VIS-IR transmission spectra?
It is a spectra that shows how transparent a material can be. in scientific terms, it is incidence of electromagnetic radiation (from the UV, Visible, Infrared wavelength regions) from a source to a material, and there is a detector which records the amount of radiation remaining after the transmission (these radiation that is gone is either reflected of the surface or absorbed by the material). The equipment that measures this is called UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer.
What are the fanction of the ozone layer?
BY fanction, i mean function. The main function is to protect earth from UV rays.
What are the types of spectrometer?
no

What is construction of spectrometer?
construction of spectrometer?
How does the ozone function?
Ozone protects us from the harmful UV rays. UV rays are harmful and fatal rays.

What instrument measures the weight of a worm?
spectrometer spectrometer
How does a spectrometer work?
The mass spectrometer is an instrument which can measure the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules. It makes use of the basic magnetic force on a moving charged particle. After ionization,acceleration and selection of single velocity particles the ions move into a mass spectrometer region where the radius of the path and thus the position on the detector is a function of the mass.

BY fanction, i mean function. The main function is to protect earth from UV rays.

What is the function of the atmospheres ozone layer?
The ozone layer protects us from the UV rays. These UV rays can cause harm to life on earth.
