Abstract
Year 2015 was celebrated as the international year of light. The interaction of light with matter leads to a plethora of processes. Absorption and scattering are a subset of such a process. This chapter focuses on two important spectroscopic techniques infrared and Raman that have transcended all limitations and are applied in almost all areas of science ranging from materials to biology. The basic principles of these two vibrational spectroscopic techniques are discussed, and their applications relevant to materials and biology are also presented. Emphasis has been laid on latest applications of these techniques. In addition, infrared and Raman spectroscopic applications toward art and archaeology have also been discussed.
