INFRARED SPECTROMETER

Cards (3)

  • PROCESS OF INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY?
    1. Beam of infrared radiation with a spread of frequencies is passed through the sample
    2. Radiation that emerges is missing the frequencies that correspond to the bonds in the sample
    3. Spectrometer plots a graph of transmittance against the frequency of radiation
  • WHAT IS TRANSMITTANCE?
    intensity of radiation
  • WHAT IS FREQUENCY EXPRESSED AS?
    a wavenumber (cm^-1)
