Definition of spectrometer. 1  1 : an instrument used for measuring wavelengths of light spectra. 2  2 : any of various analytical instruments in which an emission (as of particles or radiation) is dispersed according to some property (as mass or energy) of the emission and the amount of dispersion is measured nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.
1 bar is equal to 1000 millibars. Just like how there are 1000 millilitres in a litre, and 1000 milliseconds in a second. 1 millibar = 0.001 bars.
Pascal (unit) Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa) which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as 101 325 Pa. Meteorological reports typically state atmospheric pressure in millibars.
