This document provides an introduction to spectroscopy presented by Dr. M H Ghante and Mr. A. B. Roge. It defines spectroscopy as the measurement of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and matter. EMR is characterized by its wavelength, wave number, and frequency. When EMR interacts with matter, various phenomena can occur such as absorption, emission, reflection, and refraction. Different spectroscopy techniques are classified based on the type of radiation and interaction observed, including UV-visible, infrared, NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The principle behind spectroscopy is that EMR of a specific wavelength can be absorbed by a molecule, exciting it to a higher energy state. Spectra are obtained by measuring absorption or emission as
