Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation consist of
discrete packages of energy which
are called as photons.
A photon consists of an oscillating
electric field (E) & an oscillating
magnetic field (M) which are
perpendicular to each other.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Frequency ():
It is defined as the number of times
electrical field radiation oscillates in one
second.
The unit for frequency is Hertz (Hz).
1 Hz = 1 cycle per second
Wavelength ():
It is the distance between two nearest
parts of the wave in the same phase i.e.
distance between two nearest crest or
Electromagnetic Radiation
Amplitude
-The maximum extent of a vibration or
oscillation, measured from the position of
equilibrium. It is the intensity of wave. Its
unit is meter.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Sometimes radiation, mostly in the
infrared region is characterized by
another term known as the wave
number and is given as;
= 1/
Wave number means the number of
complete cycles occurring per centimeter.

E=h=hc/
Where,
h= proportionality constant
=Planck's constant

v= frequency
E = NA x h x v
Jmol-1= mol-1x J s x s-1
Most chemical energies are quoted in
Jmol-1or KJmol-1rather than in Joules for
an individual atom.
We therefore need to multiply our value
of h x v by the Avogadro constant to
obtain Jmol Avogadro constant
= NA= 6.02 x 1023mol-1
Energy = Avogadro constant x Plancks
constant x frequency
E = NAx h x v

Electromagnetic Spectrum
Electromagnetic spectrum
The range of all possible frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation.
The electromagnetic spectrum extends
from below the low frequencies used for
modern radio communication to gamma
radiation at the short-wavelength (highfrequency)
end,
thereby
covering
wavelengths
from
thousands
of
kilometers down to a fraction of the size
of an atom.

Principles of Spectroscopy
The principle is based on the
measurement of spectrum of a
sample containing atoms / molecules.
Spectrum is a graph of intensity of
absorbed or emitted radiation by
sample verses frequency () or
wavelength ().
Spectrometer is an instrument design

1. Absorption Spectroscopy:
. An
analytical
technique
which
concerns with the measurement of
absorption

. An analytical technique in which
emission (of a particle or radiation)
is dispersed according to some
property of the emission & the
amount of dispersion is measured.

When a monochromatic radiation is
passed through a solution, the
decrease in the intensity of radiation
with thickness of the solution is
directly proportional to the intensity

Principle
The UV radiation region extends
from 10 nm to 400 nm and the
visible radiation region extends from
400 nm to 800 nm.
Near UV Region: 200 nm to 400 nm
Far UV Region: below 200 nm
Far UV spectroscopy is studied
under vacuum condition.

Terms used in

Spectroscopy
Chromophore
The part of a molecule responsible for
imparting
color,
are
called
as
chromospheres.
OR
The functional groups containing
multiple bonds capable of absorbing
radiations above 200 nm due to n *
& * transitions.
e.g. NO2, N=O, C=O, C=N, CN, C=C,
Chromophore
To interpretate UV visible spectrum
following points should be noted:
1. Non-conjugated alkenes show an intense
absorption below 200 nm & are therefore
inaccessible to UV spectrophotometer.
2. Non-conjugated
carbonyl
group
compound give a weak absorption band
in the 200 - 300 nm region.
Chromophore
e.g.
nmH3C

3. Conjugation of C=C and carbonyl
group shifts the max of both groups
to longer wavelength.

Auxochrome
The functional groups attached to a
chromophore which modifies the ability
of the chromophore to absorb light ,
altering the wavelength or intensity of
absorption.
OR
The functional group with non-bonding
electrons that does not absorb
radiation in near UV region but when
attached to a chromophore alters the
wavelength & intensity of absorption.
