PBS
Pbs Learning Media: Spectrometry Explained
This interactive tutorial illustrates how spectrometry is used to study, identify, and quantify materials.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Spectroscopy: Interaction of Light and Matter
Tutorial provides a discussion of UV-Vis spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the Beer-Lambert law.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Absorption and Radiation
Different surfaces absorb and radiate radiation at different rates. In this activity you will analyze the absorption and radiation rates of two surfaces by monitoring the temperature changes of each of them.
Simon Fraser University
Chem1 Virtual Textbook: Spectra and Interaction of Light and Matter
Acting as a subtopic of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook's section on Atoms and the Periodic Table, this site discusses continuous spectra and line spectra using examples and charts to assist in the understanding.
Friesian School
Proceedings of the Friesian School/the Quantacized Atom
A very lengthy page from friesian.com discussing Bohr's theory of electronic energy levels and the explanation of commonly observed atomic emission line spectra. The concept of a photon and Einstein's observation of the photoelectric...
State University of New York
State University of New York: Atomic Absorption and Emission
This module simulates the excitation of hydrogen atoms through irradiation with electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Emission Spectra Lab
This lab is designed to allow students to look at the spectra of a handful of elements when light from a glowing sample of those elements travels through a diffraction grating.
Science Struck
Science Struck: Emission Spectrum vs. Absorption Spectrum
Explains the difference between an emission spectrum and an absorption spectrum, and describes each as well as their applications.
