What are the advantages of mass spectroscopy?
it is highly sensitive and so can detect trace amounts of unknown and identify them down to picogram amounts

Why do we use infrared light for spectroscopy?
Infared (IR) and the entire spectrum are used to excite molecules and cause them to gived off a signature of various wave lengths of light. Some things show up in the far red (invisible) band. Some...

What are the advantages of infrared waves?
They are not visible to the human eye and do not damage anything when they pass through it.
