Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the academic pathways and degrees related to the study of interactions between various forms of radiation (such as light, ultrasound, and electromagnetic waves) and matter, specifically in the context of developing sensors for detecting chemical substances.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about degrees focused on the interaction of radiation with matter for sensor development.
  • Another participant suggests that Physics and Chemical Engineering might be relevant fields of study.
  • A later reply mentions electrical engineering and references electro-chemistry as potentially related areas.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on a specific degree or field of study, and multiple suggestions have been made without clear agreement on the best path.

hello!
is there a degree that studies the interaction between radiation, light, ultrasound, electromagnetic waves, etc with matter?
in particular to develop sensors that detect chemical substances
thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anyone?/

Look up electro-chemistry, afaik electrical engineering does this.
