Which wavelength change arises from increased medium density in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy?

💡 Explanation

A blueshift occurs because increased density leads to more frequent collisions; this collision broadening causes the emitted photons to have slightly higher energies, therefore shortening the wavelength rather than increasing it, due to absorption changes.
