• Resumen

  • A spreadsheet exercise is presented that is designed to complement descriptions of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) found in some analytical chemistry textbooks. Students can convert spectra collected with an FTIR spectrometer into interferograms and back into spectra. They can also import interferograms from an FTIR spectrometer into the spreadsheet and convert them into spectra.
