Electromagnetic Radiation

A form of energy that is propagated through space or matter, consisting of both electric and magnetic waves traveling at the speed of light.

Rotational Motions

The movement of a body around a fixed point or axis, common in molecules resulting in specific spectroscopic behaviors.

Absorption

The process by which one substance takes up another substance through physical or chemical means.
