how we can find lowest energy of atom?
what is required of atoms to emit spectral lines?
I have benn active in this field for more 25 years and I would like to raise a question...
I have been of the opinion that "Atomic Spectroscopy" is spectroscopy made on atoms, with the main aim of assessing their structure, e.g. energy level, transition wavelengths, line strengths, etc...
Whenever we use this information to assess the concentration of an element, as is done with the techniques discussed here, I normally call it "Atomic Spectrometry".
I therefore suggest that this article should be renamed to "Atomic Spectrometry".
Look for example at the extern link, which only speaks about Spectrometry, not spectroscopy...
Please, give your opinion, and if you agree, let us change it at some time...
