Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared Spectroscopy is the study of properties of materials when they are influenced by IR radiations.This proves to be a powerful method for locating unseen objects in the path.IR radiations are not visible and can only be felt as heat. Every substance absorbs radiations at certain wavelenghts that correspond to the energies of vibration of the chemical bonds in that substance which can be recorded in a detector. The resulting spectrum can be used to study the exact molecular structure of the substance. It also gives us a clear picture of the bends, twists, rotaions and vibrations of the bonds. The amount of absorption helps us to study the concenteration or density of that substance.
