This subfield studies the interaction of light with matter and the resulting spectra.

"Spectroscopy is the field of study that measures and interprets the electromagnetic spectra that result from the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter as a function of the wavelength or frequency of the radiation."
"Spectroscopy allows the composition, physical structure, and electronic structure of matter to be investigated at the atomic, molecular, and macro scale."
"Spectroscopy is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, materials science, and physics."
"Spectroscopy in the electromagnetic spectrum enables the investigation of the composition, physical structure, and electronic structure of matter over astronomical distances."
"Historically, spectroscopy originated as the study of the wavelength dependence of the absorption by gas phase matter of visible light dispersed by a prism."
"Current applications of spectroscopy include biomedical spectroscopy in the areas of tissue analysis and medical imaging."
"Matter waves and acoustic waves can also be considered forms of radiative energy."
"Recently, gravitational waves have been associated with a spectral signature in the context of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)."
