Question 22 • Physics
Spectroscopy studies how matter interacts with light and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These interactions can be used to kill bacteria in food, identify elements in a sample, support medical imaging, measure galaxies’ distance and velocity, and determine types of chemical bonds. Producing neon lights is not typically considered an application of spectroscopy; the lights produce characteristic colors, which can be analyzed spectroscopically.
