Infra-red spectroscopy
Dispersion of light at frequencies comparable with those of
vibrational modes
Wave lengths are macroscopic compared to the size of the
interatomic distance or units cells only q = 0
Linear spectroscopy here; non-linear methods like
multi-dimensional (several photons) like 2D-IR beyond the
scope
