From theCambridge English Corpus
Stark broadening of the lines is negligible for the low density obtained and cannot provide the density from theabsorptionlinewidth.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This results in an "absorptionline", since the narrow frequency band of light initially traveling toward the detector, has been effectively scattered in other directions.
From
Wikipedia
This creates a line in the spectrum, known as anabsorptionline, which corresponds to the energy difference between states 1 and 2.
From
Wikipedia
Each of these forms of the molecule will create anabsorptionlineat a slightly different rest wavelength.
From
Wikipedia
The vapor cell absorbs the signal, which coincides with the vapor's thinabsorptionline, and the cell's atoms become excited.
From
Wikipedia

From
Wikipedia
Deeper into the ultraviolet spectrum, however, potassium iodide has a strongabsorptionlinedue to the formation of chargeless particles called excitons.
From
Wikipedia
In normal drilling practice, 5 hydrocarbon gases, plus a couple of non-hydrocarbon gases, are expected in normal samples resulting in cross-talk between the methaneabsorptionlineand the ethane.
From
Wikipedia
This results in an "absorptionline", since the narrow frequency band of light initially traveling toward the detector, has been turned into heat or re-emitted in other directions.
From
Wikipedia
Evidently, the use of absorption lines as a probe requires that the lines are well resolved.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From
Wikipedia
Depending on the type of gas, the photon source and what reaches the detector of the instrument, either an emission line or anabsorptionlinewill be produced.
From
Wikipedia
The absorption that occurs due to a transition between two states is referred to as anabsorptionline and a spectrum is typically composed of many lines.
From
Wikipedia

From
Wikipedia
For the purposes of spectroscopic diagnostics, it is necessary to obtain good coincidences of laser lines with strong absorption lines for detected substances.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
