Optical spectroscopy studies the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation across a broad range of wavelengths. The electromagnetic spectrum is, in fact, a continuum that is conventionally divided into several regions: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and γ-rays. Each wavelength (or energy) range interacts differently with matter, allowing the determination of specific properties. Spectroscopic techniques are therefore powerful tools for obtaining both compositional and structural, qualitative and quantitative information about the analysed samples.
