FT IR Spectroscopy
What does the Michelson interferometer do?

Selectively filter certain wavelengths from a beam of I.R. radiation
None of these

What is meant by rotating frame of reference?

None of these
That the detector rotates around the sample
If the laboratory itself is imagined to be rotated at the Larmor frequency, viewing that individual magnetic moment vectors are fixed in space
That the sample is spun rapidly in the applied field
