Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of a detector in spectroscopy?
  • Step 1: Understand that spectroscopy is a technique used to study light and its interaction with matter.
  • Step 2: Know that when light interacts with a sample, it can be transmitted (pass through) or emitted (given off).
  • Step 3: Recognize that a detector is a device used in spectroscopy to capture this light.
  • Step 4: Learn that the detector measures how much light is transmitted or emitted from the sample.
  • Step 5: Realize that the information from the detector helps scientists understand the properties of the sample.
