Download Q&A

The Intro to Spectroscopy (UV–Vis, IR) – Problem Set is a comprehensive practice module designed to test, reinforce, and refine understanding of spectroscopic principles and spectral interpretation. This section is ideal for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants seeking structured problem-solving across theory, numericals, and applications.

In this problem set, you will practice:

  • Concept-based MCQs on electromagnetic radiation, absorption principles, and spectroscopy basics

  • Numerical problems involving Beer–Lambert law, photon energy, wavelength–frequency conversions

  • UV–Vis spectroscopy questions – electronic transitions, chromophores, and spectral shifts

  • IR spectroscopy questions – functional group identification and vibration modes

  • Spectrum- and graph-based problems requiring interpretation of UV–Vis and IR data

  • Assertion–reason and multi-statement questions aligned with competitive exam formats

  • Previous-year questions (PYQs) from school, UG, and entrance examinations

  • Mixed-difficulty problems (easy to advanced) for progressive skill development

The problems are systematically arranged to improve accuracy, speed, and exam confidence, while reinforcing NCERT- and UG-aligned concepts.

Solve the Intro to Spectroscopy (UV–Vis, IR) – Problem Set to build strong analytical skills and interpretation accuracy, essential for success in school exams, UG assessments, and competitive Chemistry tests.
