Phenomenological Raman (5) Flashcards
1
Q
What is absorption spectroscopy?
A
Measure absorption of radiation as it interacts with the sample. Function of frequency and wavelength
2
Q
What is inelastic light scattering?
A
Scattering of radiation at energies different than that of incident radiation
3
Q
What is elastic light scattering?
A
when monochromatic radiation energy strikes molecule, most of the scattered radiation contains photons of the same energy as incident radiation
4
Q
What percentage of the incident radiation is elastically scattered?
A
99.9%
5
Q
What is Rayleigh scattering?
A
elastically scattered radiation at ṽ0
6
Q
What percentage of the incident radiation is inelastically scattered?
A
< 0.1%
7
Q
When was Raman scattering first observed?
A
1928
8
Q
Who first observed Raman scattering?
A
Sir C.V. Raman
