The Quantization of Energy•The energy of an oscillator (absorbed or emitted) is not continuous
and that any change in its energy can occur only by means of a jump between two distinct energy states i.e., it is quantized.
A molecule in space can have many sorts of energy ;1-Rotational energy:- by virtue of bodily rotation about its center of
gravity.2-Vibrational energy:- due to the periodic displacement of its atoms
from their equilibrium positions.3-Electronic Energy:- due to transfer of electrons associated with its
atoms or bonds between available energy levels.4 -Transitional Energy:- due to free movement of the whole
molecule in the space.
All the above energies of the molecule are quantized except the Transitional Energy.

Representation of SpectraRepresentation of SpectraGenerally, the spectral band is characterized by
position, width, and intensity .
The position of the spectral bands, or the frequencies at which the molecule absorb ,depends on its structural features ( Functional group) as well as on its environment.
**The two most important features of spectral lines are -:
their height (~ intensity) and their
width (n).

II- IntensityII- Intensity 1 -Transition Probability -:
The precise calculation of transition probabilities is involved and requires quantum mechanics. However, it is often possible to predict if a transition is symmetry allowed or forbidden. We will discuss the respective Selection Rules for each spectroscopic technique individually.
2 -Population of States -: For thermal equilibrium, the probability of a state in thermal equilibrium is given by the Boltzmann Distribution:
Nupper / Nlower = exp(-ΔE/kT)

Properties of Laser Light Laser light differs in many aspects from ordinary light (that is: the light generated by light bulbs or fluorescent tubes). Laser light is
1 -Monochromatic The range of frequencies emitted by a laser is very narrow,typically Dn / n = 10-5 to 10-8 .
2 -Low Divergence Laser beams can not only be focused to a smaller point than any other light source (ca. 1 l), but the also show very small divergence. Under optimum conditions, the divergence can reach the theoretical limit of f = l / d
3 -Coherent The maxima and minima of all emitted wavelets occur at the same position .
4 -Highly Intense Pulsed lasers can generate light pulses of extremely high intensity. For example, commercially available Nd:YAG lasers (l = 1064 nm) are capable of 10 ns pulses with an energy of 108 W. This corresponds to an energy of 1020W / m2 at the focal point - 1017 (!)
times more intense than the sunlight at the earth's surface .5 -Polarized The E-planes of the individual light waves are all parallel to
each other .6 -Precisely Timed The ability to create incredibly short laser pulses
(currently: 4 femtoseconds = 4 fs = 4 x 10-15 s) allows the spectroscopic resolution of extremely fast processes. A 4 fs pulse in the visible
corresponds to only 2 cycles of the corresponding sin wave .
