Understanding the Interaction between Light and Matter

Understanding the Interaction between Light and Matter

Light & Matter
Spectroscopy is one of the most studied topics in today's research on quantum mechanics. There are many unexplored areas in quantum mechanics that are being studied by chemists to understand how light fields interact with matter. The light-matter interactions are a result of an oscillating electromagnetic field that can interact with charged particles. The chemists study how electromagnetic radiation of any form can interact with atoms and molecules. This interaction is called spectroscopy. Based on the type of electromagnetic radiation, the nature of spectroscopy also varies. Different types of spectroscopy give us different perspectives. The interpretation of spectroscopy requires a model, whether it is stated or not. Spectroscopy requires both modeling and laboratory practice to be useful to distinguish between different electromagnetic radiations. This study can determine the underlying process…
