In atomic spectroscopy, which of the following is NOT correct

a. ionisation of the analyte causes lowered absorbance results because the atom population is lowered

b.Absorption by molecular species in the flame causes spectral interference.

c.The width of atomic emission peaks is about 10-3mm.

d. sputtering is a process in which atoms or ions are ejected from a surface by a beam of charged particles striking that surface.

e. Doppler broadening of atomic spectral lines increases with temperature.

thanks

I like to stand by my answers - so in this case I am stating in advance I am not 100% sure


d and e are 100% correct - that I know for sure - so eliminate those


of a, b, c to me b "feels" incorrect

I would put b - but not 100% certain
