    Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    • Spectroscopy is the field of study that measures and interprets electromagnetic spectra. In narrower contexts, spectroscopy is the precise study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. Spectroscopy, primarily in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of astro… See more

    Theory

    The underlying premise of spectroscopy is that light is made of different wavelengths and that each wavelength corresponds to a different frequency. The importance of spectroscopy is centered around the fact that every … See more

    Classification of methods

    Spectroscopy means the dispersion of light into component colours. In simple words, it is a method to measure how much light is absorbed by a chemical substance and at what intensity of light passes through it. As per analytical science, every element or compound has unique characteristic spectrum.

    What can spectroscopy tell us about molecular properties?
    In spectroscopy, we use light to determine a tremendous range of molecular properties, including electronic, vibrational, rotational, and electron and nuclear spin states and energies. From this information, we can often deduce a great deal of additional insight, including: Molecular identities – what is the sample composed of?

    What does spectroscopy study?
    The scientific study of how various types of matter emit and absorb radiation, including light, is known as spectroscopy. They deal with the radiation’s wavelength. Another subject that spectroscopy studies is the interactions between protons, electrons, and ions. Spectroscopy can also investigate particle interactions and collision energy.

    Is spectroscopy confined to electromagnetic radiation?
    Spectroscopic techniques are not confined to electromagnetic radiation, however. Because the energy E of a photon (a quantum of light) is related to its frequency ν by the relation E = h ν, where h is Planck’s constant, spectroscopy is actually the measure of the interaction of photons with matter as a function of the photon energy.
