Study Notes
Introduction to Spectroscopic Methods
- Spectroscopic methods rely on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and matter.
- Used for both molecular and atomic interactions.
- Instrumental analysis provides methods and instruments for making measurements and understanding the principles behind them.
- Spectroscopic analysis covers atomic and molecular spectroscopy.
1.1 Properties of Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has wave and particle properties.
- EMR includes ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, and radio waves.
Wave Properties of EMR
-
EMR is modeled as waves with perpendicularly oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
-
Key parameters:
- Period (p): Time for one cycle to pass a fixed point in space.
- Frequency (ν): Cycles per second, measured in Hz or s-1.
- Amplitude (A): Maximum length of the electric vector in the wave.
- Wavelength (λ): Distance between two identical points in a wave, like maxima or minima..
- Wavenumber (ṽ): Reciprocal of the wavelength in cm. Number of waves per cm, measured in cm-1.
- Radiant Power (P): Energy reaching a given area per second, measured in watts (W).
- Intensity (I): Radiant power per unit solid angle.
-
Relationship between speed of light (c), frequency (ν), and wavelength (λ): c = νλ
-
Speed of light in vacuum: c = 3.00 x 108 m/s = 3.00 x 1010 cm/s
-
Frequency (ν) is constant, wavelength (λ) decreases in mediums containing matter: The medium slows down the wave speed.
-
Inverse relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν): Higher frequency means shorter wavelength, and vice versa.
Particle Properties of EMR
- EMR consists of discrete energy particles called photons.
-
Energy (E) of a photon related to wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), and wavenumber (ṽ): E = hν = hc/λ = hcṽ
- h is Planck's constant: 6.63 x 10-34 Js
- Wavenumber (ṽ): ṽ = 1/λ = ν/c, with units of cm-1.
