Principles of Spectrometry and Light-Matter Interaction

Introduction to Spectrometry

Frequency: The frequency of light is a fundamental property in spectrometry.

Color: The color of light is determined by its wavelength, which is crucial for understanding absorption.

Spectrometry Fundamentals

Spectrometry involves the measurement of the quantity of energy transmitted through a sample. This radiant energy is typically monochromatic radiation of a single wavelength, or for practical reasons, a very narrow band of wavelengths. The measurement of the transmitted

Understanding Atoms: Models, Properties, and Bonds

Historical Atomic Models

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

It states that matter is made up of atoms. These atoms are described as solid, spherical, and indivisible particles. Subsequent scientists built upon Dalton’s model, developing increasingly precise descriptions of the atom.

Thomson’s Atomic Model

This model proposes that the atom is a positively charged solid sphere with electrons embedded within it, often likened to a “plum pudding.”

Rutherford’s Atomic Model

Rutherford’s model suggests that the atom is

Societal Structures: Status, Roles, and Group Dynamics

Social Interaction Systems: Status and Roles

Every society is a form of organization, a set of rules of conduct that define relations between its members. Some sociologists use the term “social interaction systems” to refer to the multiple relationships that occur between members of a society. While other beings also live in groups, dependent on the order established by nature, humans create their own forms of social organization based on rules that assign each member a specific role: roles and status.
