Interferometry uses the interference patterns of light waves to make extremely precise measurements of distance and length. How are wavelengths of light measured? (using diffraction gratings or interferometers) What is spectroscopy, and how can the wavelengths of emitted or absorbed light tell us about the properties of matter? Spectroscopy analyzes the spectrum of light emitted or absorbed by a
