To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
– Spectral fingerprint: the distinctive pattern of radiation reflected by a surface (or a species) as a function of the wavelength
– Spectroscopy: the field of study that measures and interprets the electromagnetic spectra that result from the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter as a function of the wavelength or frequency of the radiation
