Basics and principle of Atomic Emission Spectroscopy | Learn under 5 min | AES | AI 11

The video tutorial introduces atomic emission spectroscopy, explaining its theory and how it differs from atomic absorption spectroscopy. It details the construction and working of the spectroscopy instrument, which includes components like the sample holder, atomiser, flame, monochromator, and detector. The process involves converting the sample into an aerosol, heating it in a flame to excite atoms, and analyzing the emitted photons to identify atom types and quantities. The video concludes with a call to action to like and share the content.
