3. Wave parameter
Frequency (V) – the number of cycles/wave which pass a
fixed point in space per second.
Amplitude (A) – The maximum length of the electric vector
in the wave from X axis (Maximum height of a wave).
Wavelength (λ) – The distance between two successive
crest/troughs adjacent points in a wave (usually maxima or
minima).
Wavenumber- The number of waves per cm in units of cm-1.
4. Energy
• EM is viewed as a stream of discrete particles, or wave
packets, of energy called photons.
• We can relate the energy of photon to its wavelength,
frequency and wavenumber by
E = hV V - frequency
= h c
λ λ - wavelength
= hcυ
h – Planck’s constant =6.63x10-34 J·s
Energy inversely proportional to Wavelength
6. Spectroscopic Techniques and
Chemistry they Probe
UV-vis UV-vis region bonding electrons
Atomic Absorption UV-vis region atomic transitions (val. e-)
FT-IR IR/Microwave vibrations, rotations
Raman IR/UV vibrations
FT-NMR Radio waves nuclear spin states
X-Ray Spectroscopy X-rays inner electrons, elemental
X-ray Crystallography X-rays 3-D structure
7. Different Spectroscopies
• UV-vis – electronic states of valence e/d-orbital
transitions for solvated transition metals
• Fluorescence – emission of UV/vis by certain molecules
• FT-IR – vibrational transitions of molecules
• FT-NMR – nuclear spin transitions
• X-Ray Spectroscopy – electronic transitions of core
electrons
8. Molecular transition
• In molecules the electronic states are subdivided into
vibrational states.
• The energy of a band in a molecular absorption
spectrum is the sum of three different energy
components.
• E = Eelectronic + Evibrational + Erotational
• Transitions between electronic-vibrational-rotational
states give rise to spectra that appear to have bands.
9. Lambert Beer’s Law
cuvette
source
slit
detector
log(I0/I) = ϵ.l.c
I0 = intensity of incident light
I = intensity of Transmitted light
c = Concentration of sample
l = Path length of sample
ϵ = Molar absorptivity
The fraction of incident
light absorbed is
proportional to no of
absorbing molecule in its
path
