Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample. It is based on the principle that when a sample is introduced into an inductively coupled plasma (ICP), the atoms in the sample are excited to high energy levels. When these atoms return to their ground state, they emit light at specific wavelengths that are characteristic of the element. The intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample.
