| continuous spectrum | A spectrum in which there are no absorption bands or lines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spectrum | A charted band of wavelengths of electromagnetic vibrations obtained by refraction and diffraction. By extension, a measurable range of activity, such as the range of bacteria affected by an antibiotic (antibacterial spectrum) or the complete range of manifestations of a disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| spectrum analysis | The measurement of the amplitude of the components of a complex waveform throughout the frequency range of the waveform. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, mass | Analysis of the mass of an object through means of determining the wave length(s) at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by that object. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, raman | Analysis of the intensity of raman scattering of monochromatic light as a function of frequency of the scattered light. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infrared spectrum | The part of the invisible spectrum of wave length just longer than that of visible red light. Synonym: thermal spectrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| invisible spectrum | The radiation lying on either side of visible light, i.e., infrared and ultraviolet light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal spectrum | The part of the invisible spectrum of wave length just longer than that of visible red light. Synonym: thermal spectrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxin spectrum | A figure in the form of a spectrum used by Ehrlich to represent the neutralizing power of antitoxin in the presence of toxin, toxone, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
