low frequency molecular spectra

Note: This is my take on the nature of the low frequency spectra of molecules. I believe that these frequencies contain more qualitative than quantitative information. They could also be used to identify particular species of molecules.

There are low frequency patterns of vibration inside the molecule’s normal spectrum of electromagnetic emissions, and these LF (low frequency) spectra exist over five distinct frequency ranges, approximately corresponding to the gigahertz, megahertz, kilohertz, audible, and sub-audible ranges. Some very general functional characteristics have been assigned for each of the frequency ranges.
These frequencies exist predominantly within groups of molecules. However, this is not to say that they do not or cannot exist for single molecules as well. It may be that they can only be induced within molecular groups, but once induced, they maintain some level of signal strength within the single molecule.

Detecting these frequencies will be difficult, due to their very low magnitudes. The current technology used to detect molecular spectra involves isolating single molecules and exciting them to emit electromagnetic frequencies in ranges that have very high energies, mainly the infrared and ultraviolet. Clearly, the frequencies that are being suggested are orders of magnitude below those that can currently be detected with the existing technology.

A technology to excite the LF spectra of molecules is necessary. Whether this technology could also be used to detect the LF spectra is not known. It would be necessary to produce a set of frequencies, rather than only a single frequency, and project this frequency set into a large mass of molecules. If the correct chord (LF set) is induced into the molecule, it will have some of it is physical characteristics changed. Among these would be physical measurements and parameters associated with molecular reactions. Since molecules absorb and emit energy when they react with other molecules, it is likely that the energy signature that is emitted as radiation during this event includes the set of low frequencies that constitute the LF spectrum for the molecules undergoing reaction. If this is the case, it could be detected using frequency detection equipment.

There are two possible means of determining the LF spectra of molecules. One is to program them with waves, react them with other molecules (which may or may not have been programmed), and assess the qualitative results of the reaction. The other is to detect these frequencies directly, using some type of ultra-sensitive equipment.

The technology that might be suggested is similar to the one that is currently used in the state-of-the-art microwave devices. In the technology, small lengths of conductive material are deposited onto substrates, where the length of each conductive etching responds to a particular frequency of radiation. If there are seven different lengths of conductive material, the result will be a seven note frequency set. The frequency set, then, is broadcast directly, or is amplified and broadcast into the mass of experimental molecules.
