CH 442 Molecular Spectroscopy (Spring 2017-18)
Instructor name: Prof. Anindya Datta
Course Type: Honours / Elective
Pre-requisites: Quantum Mechanics 1&2 or an equivalent course
Course Content: Different types of Spectroscopy: Microwave, IR, Laser, Raman, NMR; Spectrometers (Instrumentation), Symmetry in Spectroscopy
Books: C N Banwell: Fundamentals of Molecular Spectroscopy, Physical Chemistry by Peter Atkins
Lectures: 100% attendance policy, only a leeway of 2 classes was allowed. Teaching was done on a mixture of blackboard+slides. Lectures were pretty comprehensive and easy to understand.
Assignments: None
Exams and Grading: The course was made up of 13 modules of 10 marks each, out of which 4 modules were quizzes (so 4 quizzes) and rest in Midsem/Endsem.
While grading the best 10 out of the 13 modules were considered.
Advanced Followup Courses: Ultrafast Spectroscopy
Personal Comments: It's kind of a relatively high effort course, but I personally learnt a lot of stuff that is useful in experiments (esp in Si-based quantum computing!)
Respondent: Shobna Misra
Note: This is a review to help you make a more informed choice about how to study for this course and/or choosing this course. While we've tried to keep it objective and complete, one must keep in mind that students have varying interests, methods of study, and the course itself changes from year to year.
