Spectroscopy is one of the most advanced and famous analytical technologies used extensively in large number of fields, from healthcare to manufacturing. Spectroscopy is the measurement of interaction between radiated energies emitted by certain matter. The spectroscopy is considered as a function of wavelength. In spectroscopic studies, electromagnetic radiations are allowed to pass through the sample to be analyzed; the sample molecules absorb only those wavelengths which can convert their energy level, from ground state to excited state. The detector installed on other side of device, records and analyzes the wavelengths which were absorbed and their respective proportion.
