Q
how infra-red spect works
A
Organic molecules absorb infra-red light
electromagnetic radiation in the infra-red region causes bonds to vibrate
Each bond vibrates at a particular frequency and absorbs the light at that frequency
by looking at which frequencies are absorbed, it is possible to determine which bonds are present
