What is spectroscopy?

  • Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between light and matter where the absorption and emission of light or other radiation by the matter are studied and measured.
  • Spectroscopy mainly deals with the dispersion of light and other radiations that is caused by an object which allows the study of various properties of the object.
  • The measurement in spectroscopy is a function of the wavelength of the radiation being observed.
  • Spectroscopy has been widely exploited as it allows the determination of composition, physical and electronic structure to be determined of various particles of molecular or atomic levels.
