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...

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
