I think identification and monitoring of molecules in remote astrophysical sources interstellar clouds; exhaust gasses of cars.

Answer:

for identifying elements in a sample

for determining the distance and velocity of galaxies

for producing neon lights

for determining types of chemical bonds

for use in medical imaging devices

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Field spectroscopy, is a technique used to measure the reflectance properties of vegetation, soils, rocks, and water bodies in the natural environment, generally under solar illumination. Some disciplines are interested in the measurement of light reflected off objects in the natural environment. Natural targets are usually illuminated by the whole hemisphere of the sky, and thus receive direct solar flux and scattered sky light, thus, it can be applied for determine elements in a sample as each one reflects the light differently, for determining the distance and velocity of galaxies as one could measure the light velocity, for producing neon lights , for determining types of chemical bonds as they have measurable energies related with the reflected light and for use in medical imaging devices to determine patrons in the obtained results.

Best regards.
