1 : an instrument used for measuring wavelengths of light spectra. 2 : any of various analytical instruments in which an emission (as of particles or radiation) is dispersed according to some property (as mass or energy) of the emission and the amount of dispersion is measured nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.
What is a spectrometer used for?
In the broadest sense a spectrometer is any instrument that is used to measure the variation of a physical characteristic over a given range; i.e. a spectrum.
What a spectrometer is and how it works?
A spectrometer is a measuring device that collects light waves. It uses these light waves to determine the material that emitted the energy, or to create a frequency spectrum. Spectrometers split the incoming light wave into its component colors. Using this, they can determine what material created the light.24 Apr 2017
