What Techniques are Used to Measure Vibrational Energies?
Several techniques are employed to measure vibrational energies, including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and inelastic neutron scattering. These techniques provide insights into the vibrational modes and their corresponding energies. IR spectroscopy measures the absorption of infrared light, which causes vibrational transitions. Raman spectroscopy, on the other hand, involves scattering of light and provides complementary information to IR spectroscopy.
