In comparing fluorescence spectroscopy to UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, which of the statements is true? Fluorescence measurements are more precise and less noisy because only the intensity of the emitted light is measured. Fluorescence measurements do not suffer deviations from linearity like absorbance measurements do. Fluorescence measurements have better detection limits because at low concentrations a low intensity emission signal is being measured against a low intensity background signal. Fluorescence instruments are less expensive than absorption measurements.

Hwk questions I need help on please
Write extensively on effect of temperature on atomic spectroscopy.
If you had a sample which contained both copper ion and cobalt ion, what wavelength ranges would you expect to show significant absorbance?
In general, how do IR radiations compare in energetic magnitude with those of UV, X-rays and microwave ones? Do I validate it with the frequency values (Hz) or with the wavelength values (cm)?
Part A1: Do you notice any pattern in the color of the light used to detect absorbance (preset) and the color of the solution? If so, describe the pattern. What happened to the transmittance when the wavelength being detected was changed to approximately the same color as the solution? Try to come up with an explanation for this. How does the percent transmittance of the preset wavelength compare to the percent transmittance when looking at the transmittance over the entire visible spectrum? What happened to the transmittance when the width of the sample was changed? Explain why this makes sense. Explain why there was an upper maximum on the concentrations for each solution. What would happen to the absorbance or percent transmittance of a sample above that concentration? If you needed to measure the exact concentration of a solution whose concentration is above that limit, is there anything you can do?
