Spectroscopy studies the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiation and is an important tool in many fields. Some common spectroscopic techniques are infrared spectroscopy, which is used to identify purified molecules; nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometry, which detects magnetic movement in atomic nuclei and contributes to research on organic molecules; and ultra-violet and visible light spectrophotometry, which measures transitions of bonding and non-bonding outer electrons and is used in biochemical analyses.
Common Spectroscopic Techniques
- 2. Introduction • Andrew Kortyna holds a PhD in physics from Wesleyan University and has extensive experience in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. A former associate professor of physics, Andrew Kortyna has worked as a research physicist for decades and is experienced in laser spectroscopy. Spectroscopy studies the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiation and is an important tool in many fields. Some common spectroscopic techniques are: 1. Infrared spectroscopy, which is used in identifying purified molecules. 2. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometry, which detects magnetic movement associated with protons in an atomic nucleus and contributes to research into organic molecules. It’s frequently used to determine the structure of organic molecules in solutions and in advanced medical imaging.

It’s used routinely in biochemical analyses and assays. 4. Mass spectrometry determines the characteristics of ionized molecules and is used in qualitative material analysis. It’s especially useful in analyzing small quantities of material. 5. Flame spectrophotometry analyzes transitions of outer electrons of atoms that are incinerated. It’s used in clinical biochemistry to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses of metals.
