Answer:
spectroscopy is the study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter.
hope this helps
Answer:
SPECTROSCOPY
Spectroscopy is a branch of science,it is study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) or light with matter.
In simple terms spectroscopy is how a body behaves when it is placed in radiation.
Detailed explanation -
So as its name suggests,
Spectro comes from the word spectrum which means band of colors and
scopy means observation.
In spectroscopy electromagnetic radiation of different kinds of wavelengths interacts with a molecule and gives an output
Different kinds of wavelength give different outputs for the same kind of molecule and this helps in finding the configurations, structure ,magnetic properties ,properties of nuclei etc.
Spectroscope is used to understand the structure of a molecule it gives us the accurate results in less amount of time
Instrument that is used in spectroscopy is known as a optical spectroscope.
