Absorption spectroscopy quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Absorption spectroscopy card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The sample absorbs energy, i.e., photons, from the ______ field.
Answer
radiating. The sample absorbs energy, i.e., photons, from the radiating field. From the Absorption spectroscopy article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
2026 Washington wildfires. 2026 Washington wildfires 75 · Extinction 70 · Absorption spectroscopy 66 · Calcium silicate 62 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The sample absorbs energy, i.e., photons, from the radiating field.
- The intensity of the absorption varies as a function of frequency, and this variation is the absorption spectrum.
- Absorption spectroscopy is performed across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Absorption spectroscopy article was read about 27,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Absorption spectroscopy
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
