emissioanalyysin
Emissioanalyysi, often translated as emission analysis or spectral analysis, is a technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by analyzing the electromagnetic radiation it emits when excited. This excitation can be achieved through various methods, such as heating the sample to incandescence, passing an electric current through it, or bombarding it with high-energy particles. When the atoms or molecules within the sample are energized, their electrons jump to higher energy levels. As these electrons return to their lower, stable energy states, they release energy in the form of photons, which constitute the emitted radiation.
Each element possesses a unique atomic structure, leading to a characteristic set of energy levels. Consequently,
