spectrometry
/spek'trɔmitri/
Definition
- Noun:
- The scientific practice of measuring and analyzing spectra: Spectrometry is the analytical technique that involves using instruments to measure the intensity of light or other radiation as a function of its wavelength or mass, producing a spectrum for study.
Usage
- Spectrometry is a core technique in analytical chemistry and physics for identifying substances and understanding their properties.
- It is used to determine the composition, structure, and quantity of materials by analyzing their interaction with electromagnetic radiation or by separating ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
Examples
Advanced Usage
- "to perform spectrometry": to carry out a spectral analysis.
- The researcher will perform spectrometry on the newly synthesized material.
- "spectrometric analysis": the analysis conducted using spectrometry.
- The spectrometric analysis confirmed the presence of the expected elements.
Variants and Related Words
- Spectrometer (n): The instrument used to perform spectrometry.
- The mass spectrometer is a highly sensitive device.
- Spectrometric (adj): Relating to or obtained by spectrometry.
- The spectrometric data provided clear evidence.
- Spectroscopy (n): The broader scientific field concerned with the theory, interpretation, and application of spectra, of which spectrometry is the measurement aspect.
Synonyms
- Spectral analysis: The examination of spectra.
- Spectroscopic analysis: Analysis using the principles of spectroscopy.
Related Phrases
- Mass spectrometry (MS): A technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions.
- Atomic emission spectrometry (AES): A technique that analyzes the light emitted by excited atoms.
Noun
