It covers the principles of spectroscopy using ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. The chapter explains the wave and particle nature of electromagnetic radiation, highlighting its fundamental properties and explaining how matter absorbs or emits photons.
In this module we examine how electromagnetic waves are classified into categories such as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and so on, so that we can understand some of their similarities as well as some...In this module we examine how electromagnetic waves are classified into categories such as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and so on, so that we can understand some of their similarities as well as some of their differences. We will also find that there are many connections with previously discussed topics, such as wavelength and resonance.
