spectroscopy labs

Spectroscopy labs involve studying how different materials interact with various forms of light or electromagnetic radiation. By measuring this interaction—such as absorption, emission, or scattering—scientists can identify the composition, structure, and properties of substances. These techniques are essential for analyzing everything from chemicals in a sample to distant stars. In a lab setting, spectroscopy helps researchers detect specific wavelengths absorbed or emitted, providing detailed insights into the material’s molecular makeup. Overall, it’s a powerful, non-destructive way to explore and understand the microscopic world through light-based methods.
