lähiIRemissiota

lähiIRemissiota is a Finnish term that translates to "near-infrared remission" in English. It describes the phenomenon where a material reflects or transmits light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. The NIR region typically spans wavelengths from about 700 nanometers to 2500 nanometers.

Understanding lähiIRemissiota is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications. When light in this wavelength range interacts with a substance, some of it is absorbed, and some is reflected or transmitted. The pattern of reflected or transmitted light, known as the remission or reflectance spectrum, provides unique information about the material's composition and structure.

Different materials have distinct lähiIRemissiota characteristics. For instance, water strongly absorbs NIR light, while many organic compounds exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this region. This property is exploited in spectroscopy techniques for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Applications include identifying food adulteration, monitoring crop health, analyzing pharmaceutical products, and detecting pollutants. The measurement of lähiIRemissiota allows for non-destructive analysis, meaning the sample remains intact after the measurement. This makes it a valuable tool for quality control and research across diverse fields.
