Course content
Weeks 1-2: Interactions of particles of matter with electromagnetic field - interactions without absorption and with absorption of energy. Specifics of the microworld, physical nature of spectral and optical phenomena. Weeks 3-4: Symmetry of molecules - basic concepts. Point groups, Schönflies symbolism. Dipole moment - symmetry of molecules and polarity of bonds. Weeks 5 - 6: Quantum energy levels, one and more electronic systems, harmonic and anharmonic oscillator, selection rules - allowed and forbidden transitions, relation to the absorption and emission of energy quantum. Atomic and molecular spectra. Spectral line width - line and band spectra. Weeks 7 - 10: Examples of spectral phenomena - rotational-vibrational spectra (FTIR), combination scattering spectra (Raman), electron and atomic (ionic) spectra (UV-VIS), magnetic resonance spectra (NMR and others), emission spectra, luminescence. 11. Interaction of particles and fields without energy absorption. Molar polarization and refraction, Clausius - Mossotti equation, determination of permanent dipole moment and polarizability. Magnetic properties of substances. Week 12: Examples of non-spectral/optical phenomena - light refraction, light polarization, hall phenomena, optical rotational dispersion, circular dichroism, elastic light scattering. 13. Scattering of X-rays on a crystal lattice, formation of coherent radiation, Laue's diffraction equation, Bragg condition, XRD method.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to teach students the basics of spectral and optical phenomena in the interaction of electromagnetic radiation / field with substances. Based on the observed phenomena, then demonstrate the possibilities of obtaining information on the structure of the substance and in the analysis of the content of the substance in the mixture.
