Preferred Label : stray radiation error;
Detailed label : stray radiation error in spectrochemical analysis;
IUPAC definition : A spectrometer set to pass radiation of a particular wavelength band always has a
small amount of stray radiation of other wavelengths. Since the sample may absorb
more (or less) of this stray radiation than of the radiation at the selected wavelength
an error can occur. This error is called a stray radiation error.;
