The study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation in all its forms with matter. When a beam of white light strikes a triangular prism it is separated into its various components ( V I B G Y O R ). This is known as a spectrum . The optical system which allows production and viewing of the spectrum is called a spectroscope. What is spectroscopy
A spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational , rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Commonly used in chemistry to provide a fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. It relies on inelastic scattering , or Raman scattering , of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible , near infrared , or near ultraviolet range. Raman spectroscopy
The inelastic scattering of a photon by molecules which are excited to higher vibrational or rotational energy levels . It was discovered by C.V. Raman and K. S. Krishnan Raman scattering Dr. c.v. Raman Dr. k.s . Krishnan
Theory of raman spectroscopy Phenomenon of inelastic light scattering. Scattering of light at the same frequency as incident light is called RAYLEIGH SCATTERING Light scattered with different frequency is called RAMAN SCATTERING
1. There are two theories:- 2. Quantum theory of Raman effect
Fate of light after striking a surface
Two possible outcomes : T he material absorbs energy and the emitted photon has a lower energy than the absorbed photon Stokes Raman scattering T he material loses energy and the emitted photon has a higher energy than the absorbed photon Anti Stokes Raman scattering Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering
TRANSITION FOR RAMAN AND RAYLEIGH SCATTERING
Selection rules Primary selection rule: Molecular polarizability must change during the molecular vibration The specific selection rules state that the allowed rotational transitions are Δ J = ± 2, where J is the rotational state. The allowed vibrational transitions are Δ ν = ± 1 , where ν is the vibrational state.
The raman instrument
Raman spectrometer Three main components- The laser Small form factor, low power consumption, narrow linewidth , a stable power output, and a stable wavelength output. The sampling interface Block the laser wavelength as much as possible so that the raman shift can be observed The spectrometer Small form factor, high resolution, low power consumption, and low noise.
