Скачать или смотреть Physical Chemistry III: Fundamentals of Spectroscopy (Part 1)

This lecture introduces the fundamental principles of spectroscopy — the study of how electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter. We explore the historical development from Newton’s prism to quantum theory, the wave–particle duality of light, and the connection between radiation and molecular energy levels.

Topics covered:
• Definition and scope of spectroscopy
• Historical background (Newton, Fraunhofer, Einstein, de Broglie)
• Wave and particle nature of light
• Electromagnetic spectrum and energy quantization
• Overview of major spectroscopic methods

This course is part of Physical Chemistry III at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
