About this mock
UGC-NET Forensic Science Unit II drill on spectrophotometry foundations, covering the electromagnetic spectrum, Beer-Lambert law, UV-Visible, infrared (functional-group and fingerprint regions), Raman, atomic absorption (AAS) with hollow-cathode lamps, atomic emission (AES) and ICP plasma sources. Forensic applications include drug screening, paint and fibre identification, gunshot residue analysis, and heavy-metal toxicology, with CFSL workflow context. Easy-band questions calibrated for first-pass UGC-NET preparation and quick concept refresh.
