are used for the rapid chemical analysis of a material by means of the spectrum of its components. The sample is exposed to an electric arc. The light emitted by the arc is refracted into its different spectrums, showing the spectral lines of all the elements contained in the material. The qualitative analysis of the individual elements contained in the sample is carried out by identifying these lines. As a rule 8-10 elements are identified.
