Introduction to Spectroscopy Sheldon Davis

The study of interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation is known as spectroscopy. It measures the radiation intensity as a function of wavelength. Spectroscopy is used as a basic exploratory tool in various fields such as physics, chemistry and astronomy. It allows the electronic structure, composition and physical structure of matter to be analyzed at atomic, macro and molecular scale. Some of the measurement devices that are used in this field are spectrometers, spectrophotometers and spectral analyzers. There are various types of spectroscopy which are characterized by the nature of interaction between the material and energy. A few of these types are absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, impedance spectroscopy and reflection spectroscopy. The topics included in this book on spectroscopy are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies related to this field have been included herein. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
