An Introduction to Spectroscopy Techniques and Their Applications in Analysis

 Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It is a technique used to analyze the composition and structure of matter by examining how light or other electromagnetic radiation is absorbed, emitted, or scattered by that matter. A spectrometer is an instrument used to measure spectra. It can split light into its constituent wavelengths and measure the intensity at each wavelength.  A spectrophotometer is a specific type of spectrometer that measures the intensity of light as a function of wavelength. It can be used to measure the absorption, transmission, or reflection of light. A spectroscope is a simple spectrometer used to observe spectral lines and bands. It usually consists of a prism or diffraction grating to disperse light and view a spectrum. A spectrograph is a spectroscope that can record the spectrum onto a photographic plate or detector. It produces a spectral graph or spectrogram. Spectra refers to the characteristic pattern
