Spectroscopy in a Suitcase

We were very fortunate that Rooks Heath Chemistry and Physics A level students were able to take part in a Spectroscopy workshop last December.
We were very fortunate that Rooks Heath Chemistry and Physics A level students were able to take part in a Spectroscopy workshop last December. Spectroscopy is a very important method for helping chemists to identify chemical compounds but the principles behind the methods are important to physicists.
The aims of the workshop was to give the students a ‘hands on’ experience with Spectroscopic equipment that is found in a University Lab (UV, IR) and to ‘problem solve’ with real spectra.
