Light (E-M Radiation) Characteristics • Frequency matches change in energy, type of motion E = hn, where n = c/l (in sec-1 or Hz) • Intensity increases the transition probability— AbsorbanceI ~ e2 –where eis the Electric Field strength in the radiation • Absorbance is ratioA = -log(I/Io) • Linear Polarization aligns to direction of dipole change A ~ [dm/dQ]2where Q is the coordinate of the motion Circular Polarization results from an interference:R ~Im(m •m)m and m are electric and magnetic dipole C-H C=O IR of an oil C-C A CH2 hn
