Infrared light is just below the visible light region in the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of wavelength. Low in energy, but not low in applications. IR light has found its way into a number of applications across a wide range of fields. But today, let\'s discuss a very practical and reliable technique that can help identify the components and structures of various materials. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
