Q: How are electromagnetic waves produced?
Principle of PL
1. Photothermal effect:
When electromagnetic waves hit a surface some are
reflected while some waves are absorbed by materials which
penetrate the object. The absorbed light energy is generally
dissipated as heat, resulting in a temperature equal to
Ec =A.k.t. (dT/dx) (3) Ec=Heat transfer by conduction
Application
