Does water vapor have an IR spectrum?
Does water vapor have an IR spectrum? Atmospheric water vapour at ambient temperature and pressure gives rise to absorption in the far-infrared region of the spectrum, from about 200 cm−1 (50 μm) to longer wavelengths towards the microwave region. Can FTIR detect water? FTIR is often blinded or confused by water and its very strong FTIR signal, which can cause other FTIR responsive compounds to go undetected. Often, FTIR will identify water solutions as simply water due to the overwhelming signal produced by water. What does an FTIR spectrum show? FTIR identifies the presence of organic and inorganic compounds in...
