Hi everyone,

I have been given an assignment with my physics subject and describe in 400 words how electromagnetism can be used to determine the composition of different chemical mixtures

I was hoping someone could lead me to a couple of websites to do my research. I have entered about every key word i know into google but I am not having any luck finding information.

Thanks.

Electromagnetic waves have been pretty revolutionary in chemical identification. The first things that come to my mind are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) which have a multitude of applications in chemistry, medical imaging, forensic science etc. If you google either of these technologies you will find heaps of information.

Here are the relevant Wikipedia articles:
