Spectroscopy is the scientific tool that is based on how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation. Spectroscopy deals with how an object's light is dispersed into its component colors or energies.

Spectroscopy
The scientific tool based on how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation is called a spectrophotometer. It measures the absorption and emission of light by atoms or molecules to analyze their properties and concentrations. This tool is widely used in various fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, and physics for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Objects that absorb electromagnetic radiation receive energy from the radiation in the form of heat. This increase in energy causes the atoms and molecules in the object to vibrate, which we perceive as an increase in temperature.
The scientific study of the distribution of electromagnetic waves by energy and how these patterns are created in atoms and molecules is known as spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is used to analyze the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation, providing insights into the structure, composition, and properties of various substances. By studying the absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by atoms and molecules, scientists can gain valuable information about their characteristics and behavior.
oxygen made of molecules and atoms related to light and electromagnetic radiation has mass
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation can rip electrons off the atoms to produce free radicals. However radiations of higher frequency can also have the same effect. The higher the energy of the photon of the electromagnetic wave, the easier it is for the photon to knock off electrons from an atom.
Infrared radiation is generated when an object's atoms and molecules vibrate due to heat, causing them to emit electromagnetic waves in the infrared spectrum. This radiation is produced by any object warmer than absolute zero, as thermal energy causes the atoms and molecules to move and generate electromagnetic waves.
The substance is said to exhibit luminescence. This phenomenon occurs when the absorbed energy is released in the form of light or electromagnetic radiation as the atoms return to their normal state. Examples include fluorescence, phosphorescence, and bioluminescence.
Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, though it can get close. Nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) does generate electromagnetic radiation which travels at the speed of light, but light is a form of electromagnetic radiation anyway.
According to the Bohr model, atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation at specific frequencies that correspond to the energy differences between quantized electron energy levels. When an electron transitions from a lower energy level to a higher one, it absorbs a photon of light whose energy matches the difference between those levels. This results in the emission or absorption spectra characteristic of each element. Thus, only certain frequencies, related to these energy transitions, are absorbed or emitted.
