Which fields would most likely make use of spectroscopy techniques? check all that apply.

1. food production
2. medical research
3. scientific research
4. space research
5. weather forecasting

The right answer is 2 and 3.

The applications of spectroscopy are very diverse; they are in many areas: fundamental physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, solid state physics, materials science, metrology, microelectronics, new light sources, laser isotope separation, and so on. The R.M.N. provided a very powerful medical imaging technique. Other analysis techniques are similar to spectrometry, in the sense that a spectrum is measured as a function of energy or frequency. Acoustic spectroscopy concerns pressure vibrations for which the notions of frequency and wavelength are similar, although the phenomenon is of a nature quite different from electromagnetic waves. Here again, the frequency range extends far beyond the audible frequency range, from infrasound to ultrasound. Mass spectrometry produces spectra as a function of the mass-to-electric charge ratio of atomic or molecular ions.
