This practical textbook explains the core areas of molecular spectroscopy as a classical teacher would. The author explores and explains each concept, walking side by side with the student through carefully constructed text, pedagogy, and derivations to ensure comprehension of the basics before approaching higher level topics.
This practical and unique textbook explains the core areas of molecular spectroscopy as a classical teacher would, from the perspective of both theory and experimental practice. Comprehensive in scope, the author carefully explores and explains each concept, walking side by side with the student through carefully constructed text, pedagogy, and derivations to ensure comprehension of the basics before approaching higher level topics. The author incorporates both electric resonance and magnetic resonance in the textbook.
