Chemistry · Boston College
Broadly defined, spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. For the chemist, spectroscopy is a powerful tool for determining molecular structure and dynamics. This course will focus on the techniques most applied in chemistry including rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. The topics to be covered include light-matter interaction, group theory and various types of spectroscopy techniques. The student will gain familiarity with the basic principles and methods of spectroscopy, be able to discuss the information gleaned from each type of
