Study Notes
Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves.
- These waves propagate through the electromagnetic field and can transmit energy through space.
Frequency in Electromagnetic Radiation
- Frequency in electromagnetic radiation measures the number of oscillations or cycles per second.
- It is typically measured in units of hertz (Hz).
Absorption, Emission, and Scattering in Spectroscopy
- Absorption is the process by which electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by a substance.
- Emission is the process by which electromagnetic radiation is emitted by a substance.
- Scattering is the process by which electromagnetic radiation is deflected in different directions.
- The purpose of absorption, emission, and scattering in spectroscopy is to analyze the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.
Spectroscopy
- Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.
- It involves the analysis of the absorption, emission, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by molecules or atoms.
Amplitude in a Wave
- Amplitude in a wave measures the maximum displacement or intensity of the wave from its equilibrium position.
- It is a measure of the energy carried by the wave.
