The axes in Raman spectroscopy

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The axes in a Raman spectrum are defined with the horizontal axis labeled as Wavenumber [cm-1] and the vertical axis labeled as Intensity [Arbitrary Units]. This standard labeling is crucial for interpreting the spectral data accurately. Understanding these axes allows researchers to analyze molecular vibrations and identify chemical compounds effectively.

What are the axes(horizontal & vertical axes) in a Raman spectrum?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I've seen that they usually label x-axis as Wavenumber [cm-1] and the y-axis as Intensity [Arbitrary Units]
