The spectrum of copper encompasses the unique absorption and emission lines that arise from the electronic transitions within copper atoms. These lines are a fingerprint of the element, revealing its atomic structure and properties. The spectrum’s distinctiveness stems from the quantum nature of energy levels and the interaction of light with electrons. Atomic spectroscopy techniques, like AAS and AES, exploit these spectral features to determine copper concentrations with high accuracy. Understanding the spectrum of copper enables its diverse applications, including the analysis of materials, food, and environmental samples, as well as advancements in optics, electronics, and energy-efficient technologies.
