Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the measurement of the frequency and intensity of radiation absorbed or emitted by a substance. This information can be used to identify the substance, study its properties, and analyze its composition.
Types of Spectroscopy
- Atomic Spectroscopy: Focuses on the study of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed and emitted by atoms.
- Molecular Spectroscopy: Involves the study of the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic radiation.
- Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy: Specifically examines the behavior of unpaired electrons in a magnetic field.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR): Analyzes the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei.
- Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy: Measures the absorption of ultraviolet and visible light by a substance.
- Infrared Spectroscopy: Studies the absorption and transmission of infrared radiation by a substance.
- Raman Spectroscopy: Involves the scattering of light by a substance to provide information about its vibrational and rotational modes.
Applications of Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy has numerous applications across various scientific and industrial fields, including:
- Chemical analysis and identification
- Pharmaceuticals and drug development
- Environmental monitoring
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Forensic science
- Material science and nanotechnology
