Analytical Instrumentation Questions and Answers – Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectrometers

This set of Analytical Instrumentation Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectrometers”.

1. Which of the following is not true about Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer?
a) It is of non-dispersive type
b) It is useful where repetitive analysis is required
c) Size has been reduced over the years
d) Size has increased over the years
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: FTIR is of non-dispersive type of instruments and is used for repetitive analysis. Initially, it was bulky and the cost was high and hence,
it was limited to a special application. Now, the size has been reduced.

2. In the most widely used beam splitter, a thin film of ________ is sandwiched between two plates of low refractive index solid. Fill the blank with a
suitable option.
a) Mylar
b) Silicon carbide
c) Ferrous oxide
d) Silver chloride
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Generally, mylar is the thin film used in beam splitters. Beam splitter has to pass 50% of the radiation and reflect 50% of the radiation.

3. Which of the following is not the function of the drive mechanism in Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer?
a) Movement of mirror to obtain a satisfactory interferogram
b) Acquire a good interferogram pattern
c) Allow 50% of the beam to pass
d) Keep the speed of the moving mirror constant
View Answer
 Answer: c
Explanation: Drive mechanism does the functions specified in the other options. It the function of the beam splitter to allow 50% of the beam to
pass through.

4. Only pyroelectric transducer or pyroelectric crystals are used as detectors in Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR). What is the
main reason for other types of thermal detectors are not being used in FTIR spectrophotometer?
a) Less accuracy
b) Slower response
c) Less precision
d) Less sensitivity
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Other thermal detectors are not employed due to slower response of the detectors. Pyroelectric transducers or pyroelectric crystals
are chosen for their high speed, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and resolution.

5. Which of the following is not the advantage of Fourier Transform Spectrometers?

a) Signal to noise ratio is high
b) Information could be obtained on all frequencies
c) Retrieval of data is possible
d) Easy to maintain
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The instrument is not easy to maintain and it is a disadvantage. The other disadvantage is that the cost is high.

6. Which of the following has to be computed to determine transmittance and absorbance at various frequencies?
a) Ratio of signal and noise
b) Ratio of sample and reference spectra
c) Sample spectra
d) Reference spectra
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The ratio of sample and reference spectra needs to be computed to determine transmittance and absorbance. First, reference
interferogram is obtained and then the sample is obtained.

7. Computer accepts analog signals directly.

a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Computer does not accept analog signals directly. An A/D converter is required to feed the signals to the computer.

8. Which of the following is the reference that is generally used in FTIR interferometer?
a) Air
b) NaCl solution
c) Alcohol
d) Base solution
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Air is generally used as the reference. It is scanned for about 20 to 30 times and the results are stored in a computer.
9. In Michelson Interferometer, if the reflected and transmitted beams are in phase at the beam splitter, then maximum intensity will reach the detector.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If the reflected and transmitted beams are in phase at the beam splitter then maximum intensity will reach the detector. If they are out
of phase, then minimum intensity will reach the detector.

10. The diagram given below is the representation of Fourier transform interferometer. Identify the missing block in the block diagram.

q10.png)
a) Pyroelectric crystal
b) Display
c) High speed plotter
d) A/D converter
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Computer does not accept analog signals directly. An A/D converter is required to feed the signals to the computer.
