Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. Molecules respond to different types of radiation in different ways, depending on the frequency (?) or wavelength (?) of the radiation. In General Chemistry, we studied spectroscopy as a tool for explaining the quantum mechanical model of the atom. In that course, we learned that light is an electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye. We also learned that light, which exi...
