Which region of the spectrum does this technique use?

  • A.Roughly 190 to 800 nanometres
  • B.Roughly 2.5 to 25 micrometres
  • C.Radio frequencies in a magnetic field
  • D.X-ray wavelengths below one nanometre

Answer: A

The ultraviolet and visible range runs from about 190 nanometres, where air and solvents begin to absorb, to about 800 where the visible ends. The micrometre range is the infrared, radio frequencies belong to magnetic resonance, and X-rays probe core electrons. Each spectral region probes a different kind of molecular change, in order of the energy each requires, and knowing which region a technique occupies places it in that sequence. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
