Electromagnetic Radiation and Spectroscopy
Types of electromagnetic radiation and their spectroscopic effects.
Electromagnetic Radiation and Spectroscopy
Microwave Radiation: generates molecular rotational motion; dipole interacts with the electromagnetic field.
Infrared Radiation: generates molecular vibrations; lighter atoms and stronger bonds vibrate at higher frequencies.
Ultraviolet/Visible Radiation: generates transitions in electron energy levels; absorbance measures concentration as chemicals absorb specific frequencies.
