Raman Spectra

What is the Raman Effect?

• The Raman Effect is the inelastic scattering of light by matter.

• The Raman Effect is the diffraction of light by matter.

• The Raman Effect is the absorption of light by matter.

• The Raman Effect is the reflection of light by matter.

Explain the concept of Selection Rules in Raman Spectroscopy.

• Selection rules in Raman spectroscopy are based on the symmetry properties of the molecule and the polarization of the incident light, determining which transitions are allowed or forbidden in the scattering process.

• Selection rules in Raman spectroscopy are random and have no basis

• Selection rules in Raman spectroscopy are determined by the temperature of the sample

• Selection rules in Raman spectroscopy are solely dependent on the molecular weight of the compound

Define Raman Shift and its significance in spectroscopy.

• Raman Shift is the difference in frequency between the incident light and the scattered light due to molecular vibrations. It is significant in spectroscopy as it provides information about the vibrational modes of molecules, allowing for the identification of chemical compounds.

• Raman Shift is the absorption of light by molecules in a sample, not related to spectroscopy.

• Raman Shift is the reflection of light off a surface, not relevant in spectroscopy.

• Raman Shift is the change in color of a substance under different lighting conditions, not useful in spectroscopy.
