Plasma Emission Spectroscopy

Plasma Emission Spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze plasma, a state of matter similar to gas but composed of charged particles. When plasma is excited, it emits light at specific wavelengths. By measuring this light, scientists can determine the plasma's temperature, density, and composition. This method is crucial for understanding various applications, from fusion energy research to industrial processes and space physics. Essentially, it provides valuable insights into the properties of plasma by interpreting the light it emits, helping researchers optimize conditions for experiments or industrial applications.
