Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a common application of IR spectroscopy in environmental science?
  • Step 1: Understand what IR spectroscopy is. It is a technique that uses infrared light to analyze materials.
  • Step 2: Learn that different substances absorb infrared light at different wavelengths.
  • Step 3: Know that pollutants in the air have specific absorption patterns (spectra) that can be identified.
  • Step 4: Realize that scientists can take air samples and use IR spectroscopy to see which pollutants are present based on their absorption spectra.
