Basic principles of Spectroscopy
Some key aspects:
Applications in spectroscopy are all based on?
Dual character of light
general
Wavelike character :
Energy transferred per photon is given by the Einstein-Planck relation:

discrete values
For polyatomic molecules: molecular orbitals
For polyatomic molecules: molecular orbitals
scheme
For polyatomic molecules: molecular orbitals are involved Transitions:
Magnitude of the energy “gap” defines the wavelength region
Visible light wavelength range
Quantum principles and spectroscopy
delta E?
Based on their electronic structure and characteristics: Clear difference in the observed absorption or emission spectra for
NMR to gamma ray
Wavelength regions
Dependence on the nature of the species

DIFFRACTION GRATING Dispersion:
reflection grating
FILTER
3 types
FILTER
interference vs absorption
Heated solids
Sources (line and continuum)
