Study Notes
Spectroscopy Types and Naming Strategy
- Spectroscopy is named based on the type of light source used or the specific light feature being measured.
- The type of light source used determines the name of the spectroscopy technique.
UV-Vis Spectroscopy
- Uses UV or visible light source to measure light absorbance of a sample.
- Named after the type of light source used (UV or visible light).
Fluorescence Spectroscopy
- Measures the fluorescence given off by a sample.
- Multiple types of light sources can be used in this technique.
IR (or FTIR) Spectroscopy
- Uses infrared light to measure vibrational features of a sample.
- Named after the type of light used (infrared light).
Raman Spectroscopy
- Measures Raman light scattering.
- Multiple types of light sources can be used in this technique.
