spectroscopy measures
the interaction of light (electromagnetic radiation) and matter
light exhibits
wave-particle duality
the energy of light (photons) is directly proportional to its ________
frequency
On a macroscopic scale, matter appears to exhibit
continuous behavior
Matter on the molecular scale exhibits ____________
quantum behavior
how can molecules store energy
- rotate in space
- bonds vibrate like springs
- e- occupy molecular orbitals
- each is quantized
vibrational excitation
energy is temporarily stored as vibrational energy (and usually released as heat)
When can a bond absorb a photon
if the photon has the same energy as the energy gap in the vibrational energy levels
