Spectroscopy 
the study of interaction between electromagnetic radiation 
and matters. 
Particles (molecules, ions,atoms) can interact/adsorb a 
quantum of light. 
The instrument that perform the measurement is called 
spectrometer 
Measure the intensity of energy absorbed or emitted 
The plot/graph recorded as a function of 
wavelength/frequency is called Spectrum
Spectroscopy 
Spectra are recorded : 
1. to observe how substance behave at certain 
energy levels 
2. serves as identification tools for chemical 
substance 
3. help predict the behaviour of unknown substance 
or newly synthesized materials from ones already 
characterized
Spectroscopy 
3 types of spectroscopy: 
Absorption spectroscopy – uses electromagnetic 
spectra in which a substance absorbs: IR, NMR 
Emission spectroscopy – uses electromagnetic 
spectra in which a substance emits: Luminescence 
Scattering spectroscopy – measures the amount of 
light that a substance scatter at certain 
wavelengths, incident angles and polarization 
angles: Raman
