Questions and Answers

Infrared radiation is the electromagnetic radiation that lies between the visible and ________ regions of electromagnetic radiation.

microwave

The absorption of infrared radiation by a molecule occurs due to quantised vibrational and rotational energy changes when it is subjected to infrared irradiation. Thus, IR spectra are often called ________ spectra.

vibrational-rotational

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to determine the bonds and functional groups in the structure of chemical compounds. The advantage of this technique is that any sample in virtually any state can be studied. For example, powder, paste, a mixture, gas films, and ________ can be easily examined.

fibres

The infrared spectrum can be divided into three types of main regions: 1. Far infrared, 2. Mid-infrared, and 3. ________ infrared.
