Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between radiation and a material.
Various method use different forms of energy and the result is the measurement of a quantity as a function of either wavelength or frequency. A plot of the response as a function of wavelength — or more commonly frequency — is referred to as a spectrum.
Spectroscopy is often used in physical and analytical chemistry for the identification of substances through the spectrum emitted from or absorbed by them.
Polymer Solutions Incorporated uses various types of spectroscopy dependent on the sample type and information desired.
