Basics and principle of Raman Spectroscopy | Learn under 5 min | Stokes and Anti-Stokes | AI 09

This video in the analytical instrumentation series introduces the principle of the Raman effect and its application in Raman spectroscopy. It explains how monochromatic light interacts with a sample, leading to Rayleigh and Raman scattering. The video details the process of Raman scattering, including the concepts of Stokes and anti-Stokes lines, and how these phenomena provide molecular fingerprints for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage with the content.
