INTRODUCTION TO SPECTROSCOPY

Spectroscopy is the aspect of radiation measurements that deals with measuring the energy distribution of particles emitted by a radioactive source or produced by a nuclear reaction. 

This introduction to spectroscopy is complemented by Chap. 11, which discusses methods of analysis of spectroscopic data, and Chaps. 12-14, which present details on spectroscopy of photons, charged particles, and neutrons. This chapter discusses the following broad subjects  

The advent of modern spectroscopic techniques has completely transformed the field of chemistry, and structures can now be determined in several minutes. In this chapter, we will begin to appreciate how spectroscopy - - 

If necessary, review the suggested sections to prepare for this chapter  

In order to understand how spectroscopy is used for structure determination, we must first review some of the basic features of light and matter. 

The perpendicular, oscillating, electric and magnetic fields associated with electromagnetic radiation. 

When viewed as a particle, electromagnetic radiation consists of packets of energy, called photons. The energy of each photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
