Study Notes
Spectroscopic Methods in Pharmaceutical Analysis
- The three most important techniques for quantitation and identification in pharmaceutical analysis are Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, Infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, and Atomic spectrometry.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy propagation where photons with both particle and wavelike properties travel at the speed of light.
- EM waves carry energy and transfer their energy upon interaction with matter.
- EM radiation consists of regular electric and magnetic fluctuations.
- The frequency of EM radiation is the number of oscillations per second and is commonly represented by 𝜈.
Energy of Electromagnetic Radiation
- The energy (E) of the radiation is proportional to the frequency according to the equation: 𝐸 = ℎ𝜈 =
