X-ray Fluorescence Analysis Simulation simulates the qualitative and quantitative X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of an unknown containing 3 to 5 elements randomly selected from a list of 24 elements. The percentages in the quantitative analysis do not total 100% as there are always inert ingredients, thus all components must be determined. 1, record 1, English, - x%2Dray%20fluorescence%20analysis

A nondestructive physical method used for chemical analyses of solids and liquids; the specimen is irradiated by an intense x-ray beam and the lines in the spectrum of the resulting x-ray fluorescence are diffracted at various angles by a crystal with known lattice spacing; the elements in the specimen are identified by the wavelengths of their spectral lines, and their concentrations are determined by the intensities of these lines. 3, record 2, English, - X%2Dray%20fluorescence%20analysis
