Difference Spectroscopy

AI Thread Summary

Raman spectroscopy differs from traditional spectroscopy primarily in its mechanism of interaction with light, focusing on inelastic scattering of photons rather than absorption. This allows Raman spectroscopy to provide information about molecular vibrations, which can be used for material characterization. Traditional spectroscopy typically measures the absorption or emission of light, offering insights into electronic transitions. Both techniques are valuable in analytical chemistry, but they serve different purposes and applications. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate method for specific scientific inquiries.

hi there timo
welcome to PF

wiki has good eplanations of both types...

Rama --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_spectroscopy

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
