Spectrometer

Spectrometers are instruments that measure electromagnetic radiation intensity across various wavelengths. They must be designed for specific wavelength ranges, as equipment suitable for one part of the electromagnetic spectrum may not be appropriate for another.

What is the primary function of the instrument discussed in the video?

• To measure temperature

• To measure air pressure

• To measure electromagnetic radiation

• To measure sound waves

Why must spectrometers be designed for specific wavelength ranges?

• Because equipment suitable for one range may not work for another

• Because they are used in different industries

• Because they are difficult to manufacture

• Because they are expensive

What is a key consideration when designing spectrometers?

• The range of wavelengths it can measure

• The size of the spectrometer

• The color of the spectrometer

• The brand of the spectrometer

What is a limitation of detectors used in spectrometers?

• They are too expensive

• They are not suitable for all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum

• They are too large

• They are not accurate

Why might equipment that works at one end of the electromagnetic spectrum not be suitable for the other?

• Because of differences in cost

• Because of differences in size

• Because of differences in color

• Because of differences in energy levels
