Writing a C program:

In spectroscopy, measurements are made of light intensity at different wavelengths. Often the data has an offset or background that must be subtracted in order to get the desired result. Write a C program that reads in two data files, one containing the total signal and one containing the background. In the region where the data from the two files overlap, calculate and plot the corrected signal (i.e., total signal background) The first number in each file will be the number of wavelength/intensity pairs followed by the data, wavelength first and intensity second. For example, the total signal might look like this 12 530.2 530.4 530.6 530.8 531 531.2 531.4 531.6 531.8 532 532.2 532.4 449.10 589.59 742.04 910.61 1027.11 1044.72 1026.95 915.85 750.05 590.37 452.58 322.43 The wavelength is in nm and the intensity is in averaged detector counts The background will have a similar structure, but might not cover exactly the same spectral region - that is, it might look like this In spectroscopy, measurements are made of light intensity at different wavelengths.
