Why is an interferometer not employed in NMR alrhough fourier transformation is used for data sorting, acquisition, and interpretation? Explain

Expert Solution
Step 1

To check resonance in the nucleus, the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technique we use. In the NMR we use radio frequency, it is a low-frequency wave so its energy is also very low. and through Fourier transform it can convert the radio to NMR signals.

 

But in the interferometer, the resolution is specific, and also the path length of an interferometer is very high, in 1 second it is 

d=ct=3×108m/s×1s=3×108m

So to modulate this signal is nearly impossible. So interferometer is not applicable for NMR.
