Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy

?
A technique in which all frequencies are examined simultaneously
Fourier Transform Infrared
1 of 12
What does a monochromator do?
Splits light into its individual frequencies so they can be measured one at a time
2 of 12
When does the molecule absorb infrared radiation?
When the frequency of a vibration is equal to the frequency of the IR radiation
3 of 12
How do you prepare a vapour phase sample?
Introduce it to a special cell and add 10cm NaCl
4 of 12
How do you prepare a liquid sample?
Squeeze between flat plates of sodium chloride
5 of 12
How do you prepare a solid sample?
Combine with Nujol to create a mull then sandwich between KBr pellets
6 of 12
What is the wavelength calibrator?
Polystyrene film
7 of 12
Which sampling technique uses a curved mirror to reflect all radiation diffusely reflected from a surface and focuses it onto the detector?
Diffuse reflectance
8 of 12
Which sampling technique involves the sample being placed in direct contact with an optically flat crystal so a correct IR angle will allow total internal reflection?
Attenuated Total Reflectance
9 of 12
What is retardation?
When the path length of the beam splitter to fixed mirror and to the movable mirror vary and may not always be in phase
