Expert Solution
Step 1

Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS) is also known as Electrothermal Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (ETAAS).

It is a type of spectrometry.

The basic features present in the instrument are:

  • a source of light (lamp)
  • an atomization chamber (graphite tube)
  • a monochromator
  • a detector
  • a signal processor
