Atomic absorption

**Atomic Absorption**

Atomic absorption is an analytical technique used in chemistry to measure the concentration of elements in a sample. It works by atomizing the sample and then measuring the absorption of light at specific wavelengths corresponding to the elements being analyzed. This method is highly sensitive and widely employed for detecting metals and metalloids in various fields such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, food safety, and material science. Understanding atomic absorption is essential for accurate elemental analysis and quality control in laboratory settings.
