Principles of Spectroscopy: Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. When matter is energized (excited) by the application of thermal, electrical, nuclear or radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation is often emitted as the matter relaxes back to its original (ground) state. The spectrum of radiation emitted by a substance that has absorbed energy is called an [...]

Some of the important types of Spectroscopic Techniques are as follows: Type # 1. Gamma Spectroscopy: Gamma spectroscopy is a radionuclide measurement method. While a Geiger counter determines only the count rate, a gamma spectrometer will determine the energy and the count rate of gamma-rays emitted by radioactive substances. Gamma spectroscopy is an extremely important method. Most radioactive sources produce [...]
