Absorption spectroscopy refers to spectroscopic techniques that measure the absorption of radiation as a function of frequency or wavelength, due to its interation with a sample. ... Absorption spectroscopy is performed across the electromagnetic spectrum [and is] employed in studies of molecular and atomic physics, astronomical spectroscopy and remote sensing. 3, record 1, English, - absorption%20spectroscopy

La spectrométrie d'absorption est une méthode de spectroscopie électromagnétique utilisée pour déterminer la concentration et la structure d'une substance en mesurant l'intensité du rayonnement électromagnétique qu'elle absorbe à des longueurs d'onde différentes. [Elle] peut être atomique ou moléculaire. 1, record 1, French, - spectroscopie%20d%27absorption
