flame photometry is a type of atomic EMISSION spectroscopy. The sample is excited (raised to a high temperature), causing the emission of light. the wavelength of the emitted light is a function of the energy of the excited electrons, so each element has a characteristic set of wavelengths. usually a single wavelength is detected and the intensity of the emission is used to calculate concentration. Atomic adsorption works in the reverse way. A light of a standard wavelength (a wavelength characteristic of the target element) is passed through a flame containing the unknown substance, and the concentration of the target element is determined by the reduction in the energy of this light as it passes through the flame. the light is adsorbed by the electrons in the target element, kicking them into a higher orbit or completely out of the atom, depending on the energy involved. basically, one method involves the emission of the energy as an excited electron kicks back down to a lower state, and the other involves the adsorption of energy as an electron is kicked up an energy state. Same basic principle-change in electron energy relates to light of a specified wavelength and the change in the amount of that light can be measured and converted to a concentration.

How is light produced when elements are heated to high temperatures?
This is particularly true to metals, and are the basis for flame tests and even for flame AAS analysis. When a metal is heated, the energy is taken in, and this promotes an electron to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). When this electron falls back down to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) the energy is often released as light, with a wavelength proportional to the energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO.
What are the differences between the aa as afa and aas degrees?
The diffrence between a AA(associate of arts)AS(associate of science),and AFA(associate of fine arts) and AAS(associate of applied science) really depend on how long you want to be in school or how much money you want to spent.some required to be in school longer than others. if you plan to get your two year deggree and enter the world of work,you should enroll in the AAS program. and if your looking to transfer into a university that will make you spent thousand of dollars for education and struggle of work and lack of sleep but well worth it in the end you will enroll for your AA or AS. These courses are designed to transfer into a bachelors degree and are taught by faculty with at least a masters degree. Comment if this answered your question or write back.Thank you>
Why is fluorescence a more sensitive technique than absorption?
Answer- Flames in atomic emission are more sensitive to flame instability because optimum excitation conditions vary widely from element to element. High temperatures are needed for excitation of some elements and low temperatures for others. The region of flame that gives rise to optimum line intensities varies from element to element. Flame is rarely use in atomic emission because atomization is more complete when using a plasma due to the production of high temperatures. Also the plasma helps reduce the ionization interference effects. In flame absorption, after the sample is nebulized by a flow of gaseous oxidant, mixed with a gaseous fuel and carried into the flame it is then atomized. Then some of the atoms in the gas ionize to form cations and electrons. In flame emission the sample is introduce with argon, carries the sample into the flame. The flame is suppose to atomize the sample, while the flow of gas takes the ions and electrons to be detected.
What is volatilization?
A process in which a dissolved sample is vapourized in atomic spectoscopy this is usually a 2 step process. The analyte is turned into small droplets in a nebulizer which are entrained in a gas flow which i in turn volatilized in a high temperature flame in the case of AAS or volatilized in a gas plasma torch in the case of ICP spectroscopy.

Can you take lithium and Vyvanse together?
Personally, I have never experienced negative side effects of combining the two. I wouldn't recommend going overboard and advise you to stick with either one or two compounds (my preferred compounds are testosterone enanthate and trenbolone enanthate) as adding more can cause adverse reactions from aas alone. Best of luck to you, mate.
What is the difference between an AS in Ag Business and an AAS in Ag Business?
AS is a buisness thats doing very well for itself, however an AAS is one that is doing very badly
