Infrapunaspektri

Infrapunaspektri, often referred to as IR spectroscopy, is a technique used in chemistry and physics to identify compounds and study their molecular structure. It relies on the principle that molecules absorb infrared radiation at specific frequencies. These absorption frequencies are characteristic of the chemical bonds and functional groups present within the molecule. When infrared light is passed through a sample, certain wavelengths are absorbed by the molecule, causing vibrations in its chemical bonds. The pattern of absorbed wavelengths creates a unique spectrum, much like a fingerprint, for each compound. This spectrum can then be compared to known reference spectra to identify the substance. Infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique and can be applied to a wide variety of samples, including solids, liquids, and gases. It is widely used in fields such as quality control, pharmaceutical analysis, environmental monitoring, and materials science. By analyzing the position, intensity, and shape of the absorption bands in an IR spectrum, scientists can gain valuable information about the molecular composition and structure of a sample.
