Answer:
(1) It does not suffer from spectral interference, which occurs in flame emission spectroscopy.
(2) By atomic absorption technique, traces of one element can easily be determined in presence of high concentration of other elements.
The technique makes use of the atomic absorption spectrum of a sample in order to assess the concentration of specific analytes within it. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between the measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the Beer–Lambert law.
