A spectrometer is an analytical instrument used to measure and analyze the properties of light across a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Spectrometers can be used to identify materials, determine concentrations of substances, and study the physical and chemical properties of samples by analyzing the light they emit, absorb, or scatter. ### Key Components: 1. **Light Source**: Produces the light that is directed toward the sample. Common sources include lasers, lamps, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
