Introduction to IR Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy can be defined as the interaction between matter and light. Infrared spectroscopy is a very powerful technique which uses electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region for the determination and identification of molecular structure, as well as having various quantitative applications within analytical chemistry.

This module explores the theory behind infrared spectroscopy, instrument operation and useful applications of the technique.

Topics include:

Introduction to IR spectroscopy
Electromagnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic radiation and spectroscopy
Infrared regions
