Description
Spectroscopy, the scientific field concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (light) with matter (atoms and molecules), often is used as a powerful tool for chemical analysis. Every atom and molecule absorbs light. By shining a light through a gaseous cloud of chemicals and placing a light detector in a spectral analyzer on the opposite side of the cloud, one could obtain an absorption spectrum. This is a plot of the amount of light seen at the detector versus the electromagnetic wavelength of the light. There are narrow regions along the wavelength axis where the light is absorbed. This paper shows an absorption spectrum for ammonia gas in the infrared (IR) region near 10 micrometers
