Explain working of ir spectrophotometer

Okay! Imagine you have a magic flashlight that can see things that are invisible to our eyes. This flashlight is called an infrared (IR) spectrophotometer. When you shine the flashlight on different substances, they absorb different amounts of infrared light. This helps scientists figure out what the substances are made of. It’s like a secret code that only the IR spectrophotometer can decipher! For example, if you shine the flashlight on a glass of water, it will absorb some of the light, while a glass of orange juice will absorb a different amount. This helps us tell the difference between the two liquids. One cool fact is that IR spectrophotometers are used by scientists to analyze samples in crime scenes to help solve mysteries! So, in short, an IR spectrophotometer is a special flashlight that helps scientists figure out what things are made of by shining light on them and measuring how much is absorbed. It’s like a detective tool for chemistry!
