CC lec 4 Flashcards
4 basic discipline
- Spectrometry
- Luminescence
- Electromagnetic/Electroanalytic methods
- Chromatography
is transmitted via electromagnetic waves that are characterized by their
frequency and wavelength
energy
distance between two successive peaks
wavelength
visible spectrum
400-700nm
ultraviolet region
<400nm
infrared region
> 700nm
Planck’s formula:
E = hv
h = constant
(6.626x10-34 erg sec)
the number of vibrations of wave motion per second
frequency
the ____ the wave frequency the ___ the wavelength
lower
longer
represents the wavelength in nm at peak transmittance
Nominal wavelength
is used to check wavelength accuracy (wavelength calibration)
Didymium or holmium oxide filter
verify absorbance accuracy on linearity
Neutral density filters and dichromate solution
The primary analytical utility of spectrophotometryor filter photometry is the isolation of discreet portions of the spectrum for purposes of measurement.
Photoelectric Colorimetry
is the measurement of light intensity in a narrower wavelength
Spectrophotometric measurement
is the measurement of light intensity of multiple wavelength
Photometric measurement
6 basic components of single/double beam spectrophotometer:
stable source of radiant energy,
filter that isolates a specific region of electromagnetic spectrum,
sample holder,
radiation detector,
signal processor
and readout device
- It provides polychromatic light and must generate sufficient radiant energy or power to measure the analyte of interest
- An intense beam of light is directed through themonochromator and the sample
Light/Radiant source
Highest or maximum wavelength of tungsten
1200nm
most common light source in visible and near infrared region
tungsten
routinely used to provide UV radiation
Deuterium
