Analytical Instrumentation Questions and Answers – Surface Spectroscopic Techniques

This set of Analytical Instrumentation Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Surface Spectroscopic Techniques”.

1. Surface is usually more than _____ atomic layer deep and is a region of ________ atomic potentials.
a) One, uniform
b) One, non-uniform
c) Two, uniform
d) Two, non-uniform
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Surface is more than one atomic layer deep and is a region of non-uniform atomic potentials. The outermost layer of atoms is called a surface.

2. Surface analysis can provide information that classic methods like microscopic cannot.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Surface analysis can provide information that classic methods like microscopic cannot. It is better than reflectivity, adsorption isotherms, etc.

3. In surface spectrometer, which of the following beam is analysed?
a) Reflected beam
b) Absorbed beam
c) Refracted beam
d) Incident beam
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When a beam is focussed on a surface, one beam enters the material and a second beam is reflected. The reflected beam is analysed.
