GlossarySpectroscopy

analyzes matter's interaction with electromagnetic radiation

Spectroscopy is a scientific technique used to analyze the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. By examining how different wavelengths of light are absorbed, emitted, or scattered by a substance, scientists can determine its composition, structure, and physical properties. This method is widely used in fields like chemistry, physics, and biology to identify materials and understand their behavior at a molecular level.
