UV Luminance Spectroscopy
Why do fluorescence spectrometers often use double-beam optics?

To compensate for beam attenuation by the monochromator
So a reference solution can be used
To compensate for power fluctuations in the radiation source
All of these

Why phosphorescence measurements are usually made at a low temperature?

To prevent thermal degradation of the phosphorescent species
To decease the efficiency of detector
To promote phosphorescence by slowing the rate of radiationless transfer processes
To increase the efficiency of the detector

UV Luminance Spectroscopy
For a molecule to absorb IR, why must the molecule's vibrations cause fluctuations in the dipole moment of the molecule?

All of these
Because a change in dipole moment lowers the energy required for electronic transitions
Because fluctuations in the dipole moment allow the molecule to deform by bending and stretching
Because for absorption to occur, the radiation must interact with the electric field caused by changing dipole moment
