Forensics- Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy

It changes the energy or frequency of light striking the sample

In an Infrared spectrometer, what happens when the monochromator is changed, shifted, or swept?

No, they do not

Does Infrared light have energies greator than ultraviolet light?

The energy of the infrared light hitting the sample

What variable is being changed as you move from left to right along the X- axis?

The intensity of the infrared light passing through the sample

What variable is being measured and plotted along the y-axis?

The energy of IR light matches the energy of a molecular vibration

the percent transmittance decreased at this energy of IR light

The peaks in this IR spectrum are pointing down. What does a downward peak indicate in a infrared spectrum?

Nope

Do many different drugs have the same infrared spectrum?

Molecular vibrations

Peaks in a IR spectrum are related to?

Molecular vibrations

Peaks in Raman Spectrum are related to:

True

IR spectroscopy is considered a confirmation technique

False, it is confirmation technique

Raman Spectroscopy is considered a screening technique

True, they must be fully pure

IN order for IR spect to be used as a drug confirmation technique, does the sample have to have few contaminants?

Raman Spectroscopy

Which spectroscopy is miniture, which creates a handheld spectrometer that is capable of drug identity confirmation at a crime scene?
