Theoretical basis and experimental aspects of atomic and molecular spectroscopy, including spectroscopic transitions, transition probabilities, and selection rules. Applications of rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopies emphasize the use of spectroscopy in modern research. Specific topics include but are not limited to microwave spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and Raman scattering, and photoelectron and fluorescence spectroscopies. Prerequisites: CME 104 or an equivalent intro to partial differential equations; CHEMENG CHEMENG 110A or CHEM 171 or an equivalent intro to physical chemistry.
