Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is a scientific technique used to analyze the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the measurement of the spectrum of light that is absorbed, emitted, or scattered by substances. Spectroscopy can provide information about the composition, structure, and properties of materials by observing how they interact with different wavelengths of light. Various types of spectroscopy exist, including but not limited to, UV-Vis spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, each tailored for specific applications and types of analysis. The fundamental principle behind spectroscopy is that different substances emit or absorb light at characteristic wavelengths, enabling researchers to identify and quantify chemical compounds, assess molecular structures, and study physical properties of materials.
