What does the "FT" stand for in "FTIR"? Why is it common to find FTIR instruments, but not FTUV instruments? (I.e. why is a fourier transform only used in the long wavelength IR and microwave regions?)
How does a michelson interferometer work? What limits the resolution achievable in an FTIR spectrum? What applications is IR spectroscopy used for? What are the strengths of IR as compared to UV?
