AP Chem 3.11-Spectroscopy-AP Style!

Let's shoot some light at our molecules, and see what happens! Sounds weird at first, but it turns out that sending light through our samples can tell us a LOT about our molecules! Spectroscopy is the study of how light interacts with matter. And while there are many types, the general idea is the same: 1) Generate a known source of light wavelengths, and send them into the sample. 2) The sample responds to the light in ways unique to its molecules. 3) A Detector records the light the comes out of the sample. 4) A Chemist (that's YOU) interprets the results. Here, we take a simple look at three types of spectroscopy that are covered in the AP Chemistry curriculum. We need to see how they work. Thankfully, we don't have to interpret the results (that can take months and years of practice), but we need to know some basics. So, grab your lab coat, and let's get started!
