Abstract

Analytical chemistry is the science of accurate and precise qualitative and quantitative measurements involving chemical systems. Spectroscopy is defined as the interaction of light and matter and has both physical and analytical applications. Physical spectroscopists use emitted light, absorbed light, or scattered light in order to understand the mechanics of a chemical system. Analytical spectroscopists use the same physical processes to determine the content and concentration of the atomic and molecular species present in a chemical system.
