Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
An FTIR ______ collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range, from the near- to far-IR region.
Answer
spectrometer. An FTIR spectrometer collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range, from the near- to far-IR region. From the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Algebraic geometry. Algebraic geometry 79 · Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy 74 · Electric generator 71 · Chemical engineering 67 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.
- An FTIR spectrometer collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range, from the near- to far-IR region.
- This confers a significant advantage over a dispersive spectrometer, which measures intensity over a narrow range of wavelengths at a time.
- The term Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy originates from the fact that a Fourier transform is required to convert the raw data into the actual 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 Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Fourier-transform infrared 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.
