Analytic Techniques and Instrumentation Flashcards
Energy that eventually makes its way to the outer region of the sun and is emitted away in the form of energy
Electromagnetic Radiation
A particle of electromagnetic radiation is known as
Photon
Electromagnetic Radiation is spread in the form of
Electromagnetic waves
Speed of electromagnetic waves
300,000 km/h
Electromagnetic waves are characterized by
Wavelength and Frequency
Distance between 2 identical points on consecutive waves
Wavelength
Distance between origin and crest
Amplitude
number of waves that pass a point per unit of time
Frequency
Wavelength x Frequency =
Speed

Inversely
A wave of alternating electric and magnetic fields
Light
2 categories of Light
Invisible & Visible
Invisible Light examples
Infrared

Reflected light is aka
Transmitted light
White light is aka
Polychromatic light
The type of light that our eyes see
Reflected light
Type of light that is composed of all the visible colors
White light
Visible light that Produces only one color
Monochromatic
Color transmitted when Violet is absorbed
Yellow
Color transmitted when Indigo is absorbed
Yellow
Color transmitted when Blue is absorbed
Orange
Color transmitted when Green is absorbed
Red
States that the concentration of a substance is directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed and inversely proportional to the logarithm of the light transmitted
Beer-Lamberts Law
The relative amount of light passing through the sample is known as
Transmittance
Transmittance formula
T = transmitted light / incident light
Difference in amount of light transmitted by the blank and the sample
Presence of compound
