Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.125 Spectroscopy Overview skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which summary best connects spectroscopy across IR, UV-visible, and atomic emission examples?

AOnly visible light can interact with matter in chemistry.

BAll spectroscopy measures the same bond vibration at the same wavelength.

CSpectroscopy identifies substances by avoiding electromagnetic radiation.

DDifferent spectral regions probe different transitions, but all use radiation-matter interactions as evidence about substances.

Solution & Explanation:IR, UV-visible, and atomic emission involve different kinds of transitions, but they share the central idea that matter interacts with electromagnetic radiation in characteristic ways.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement best separates spectral position from spectral intensity?

APosition and intensity are always the same variable.

BIntensity gives wavelength units, while position gives sample mass.

CPosition is tied to transition energy, while intensity often depends on amount of sample and probability of the transition.

DNeither position nor intensity contains chemical information.

Solution & Explanation:Peak position is related to photon energy for a transition. Peak intensity can depend on concentration, path length, transition probability, and instrument conditions.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the replicate data table. Which result should be investigated before finalizing the average spectrum?

ARun 1 at 500 nm, because it agrees with Run 2.

BRun 3 at 620 nm, because it is much higher than the other replicate values at that wavelength.

CRun 2 at 500 nm, because all spectra must have zero absorbance.

DThe wavelength labels, because all wavelengths are equally unreliable.

Solution & Explanation:The 620 nm value for Run 3 is an outlier compared with the other replicates. It should be checked for a spike, contamination, or handling error before averaging.
