<strong>Spectroscopy</strong><br />

When many materials<br />

interact with light<br />

(electromagnetic radiation)<br />

they impose a characteristic<br />

signature on that light.<br />

The most obvious<br />

manifestation is color.<br />

<strong>Spectroscopy</strong> provides a<br />

means of quantitatively<br />

assessing the nature of the<br />

material which interacted<br />

with the light.
