    Books recommendations about Infrared Spectroscopy of Solids

    Recently I took an introductory course on Group Theory applied to chemistry, and learned about symmetry applied to molecular vibrations and how to detemine the detection of the vibrational nodes in IR and Raman Spectroscopy. My interest is to be able to use Infrared spectroscopy to...

    Why is energy important in Infra-red spectroscopy?

    Infra-red spectroscopy... I have been taught that with Infra-red spectroscopy, when different infrared wavelengths are fired at the sample when we reach the correct frequency we can cause the atoms in the bond to resonate as they absorb the correct energy. My question is why does it have to do...

    Infrared spectroscopy of a cyclic alkene

    At school we extracted limonene from orange peels and we had to make an IR spectroscopy for it but I don't see anywhere how we can know the product has a ring constitution... I see a lot of information about aromatic rings but nothing for an alkene ring... Can anybody help me?

    What Is the Value of m in the Balmer Series Equation for Spectroscopy Analysis?

    In a lab, our class looked at a hydrogen lamp and calculated the wavelengths of the color red, blue and green. I needed to verify that only Balmer lines are visible using the equation: 1/lambda=R(1/m^2)-(1/n^2) It says that R is Rydbergs constant and I need to find n. It says that m is the...

    Why Can You Only Observe the Balmer Series Lines in Hydrogen Spectroscopy?

    I'm learning about quantum physics and did an experiement in my class. It's a spectroscopy activity where you place a hydrogen lamp in front of a defraction grating. We must verify that only the Balmer lines are visible but why do I only observe the Balmer series lines and not others?
