Study Notes
Spectroscopy
- The study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, such as atoms and molecules, is within the scope of spectroscopy.
- Molecular spectroscopy refers to the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with molecules.
Molecular Spectra
- The spectra that arises from the transition of electrons between rotational and vibrational energy levels in addition to electronic transitions is called vibronic spectra.
Molecular Spectroscopy
- Molecular spectroscopy provides a clear image of molecular structure, bonding, and dynamics.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- When a subatomic particle, such as an electron, is accelerated by an electric field, it emits electromagnetic radiation.
Atomic Spectra
- The transition of electrons between different energy levels within an atom gives rise to atomic spectra.
