Please tell me if smells and odours can be measured in terms of frequency as is the case for colour and sound. And if so what is the spectrum covered and where more information about the particular frequency of specific substances may be obtained. If frequency is not considered in terms of smell and odors, is there any way to measure or quantify these substances from the olphatory point of view.
I would also like to know whether somebody can imagine the type of support that would be required to "record" a smell as one can an image or sound in order to keep a permanent record.
