Spectrochemical Analysis

Spectrochemical analysis is a technique used to identify and measure the composition of a substance by examining how it interacts with light. When a sample is energized—often by heat, electricity, or laser—it emits or absorbs specific wavelengths of light unique to its elements or compounds. By analyzing these light patterns using instruments like spectrometers, scientists can determine what materials are present and in what amounts. This method is precise, non-destructive, and widely used in fields like chemistry, environmental science, and materials analysis to understand the makeup of complex substances.
