Wang ’10, the only student in Erving Research Professor of Chemistry William Klemperer’s Freshman Seminar “Seeing by Spectroscopy.” For those of us who never got past the elementary acronym ROYGBIV, Professor Klemperer says, “I think the easiest way to explain it is that spectroscopy is the...detailed examination of the frequencies of radiation.” Easy?
