George Porter was a pioneer in which type of spectroscopy?
Mass spectroscopy
Infrared spectroscopy
NMR spectroscopy
Flash photolysis
Answer
Flash photolysis, as pioneered by George Porter, is a technique that combines intense light pulses with rapid spectroscopic detection methods. It allows the study of transient chemical species and intermediates that exist for extremely short durations, typically on the order of milliseconds or microseconds.
