Chap. 5 (Signals and Noise), Chap. 6
(Spectroscopy introduction)

• Signal to noise
• Source of noise
• Signal to noise enhancement
• Signal has the information of the analyte
• Noise is the extraneous information in the
  information due to electronics, spurious
  response, and random events
• Signal to noise ratio
• Noise is generally constant and independent of
  the signal
• The impact of noise is greatest on the lowest
  signal
• The ratio of signal to noise is useful in
  evaluating data

Signal to Noise

• Value of the signal to noise can vary
• Values less than 3 make it hard to detect signal

  system under investigation

  electronic or mechanical chopper

• In November of 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen (1845 -
  1923) was working in his laboratory using a
  Crookes tube (known in German as either a Hittorf
  valve or a Hittorf-Crookes tube) when he noticed
  that a sample of barium platinocyanide, which
  accidentally lay on the table, gave off a
  fluorescent glow. As the Crookes tube was covered
  at the time, Roentgen was puzzled as to the
  mechanism whereby the platinum compound was being
  stimulated to glow. After carrying out a series
  of exceptionally careful experiments, Roentgen
  realized that the Crookes tube was emitting a new
  kind of radiation which he described as "X-rays".
  In investigating the penetrating ability of these
  rays, Roentgen placed a photographic plate behind
  his wife's hand and recorded the first x-ray
  photo. In this figure, below, notice his wife's
  wedding rings that stand out as dark rings.
