Used primarily by scientists or professionals dealing with the analysis of light.

Technical Instrument

Measures light traits, such as intensity, within a certain range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Specific Light Analysis

Often preceded by an adjective indicating a particular type, such as 'mass' or 'infrared'.

Diverse Types

Central to the field of spectroscopy; studying spectrometer readings is key.

Spectroscopy Relevance

Commonly found in academic settings, especially within science departments of universities.

Educational Context

It provides precise measurements, crucial for scientific experiments and research.

Measurement Precision

 But, there's a technology that's rather simple, that's called spectrometry, that allows you see what's in the water. So we built a rough prototype of a spectrometer, and you can shine light through different substances that produce different spectrums, so that can help you identify what's in the water.

 with an array of advanced instruments. A spectrometer will analyze the gamma rays and neutrons produced when Psyche is struck by cosmic rays. Each element in the periodic table releases gamma rays of specific wavelengths, so these measurements will tell us what elements are found on the surface.
