AnswerClick to flip back
A
Atoms in a sample absorb light of specific wavelengths.
💡 Explanation:
In Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, a sample is atomized, and the atoms are then exposed to a beam of light. The atoms absorb light of specific wavelengths that are characteristic of the element, and the amount of absorption is proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample.
