CC LEC - LESSON 5 - ANALYTIC TECHNIQUES Flashcards
transmitted via electromagnetic waves that are characterized by their frequency and wavelength
energy
energy is characterized by their (2)
frequency and wavelength
this measure instruments without consideration of wavelength
photometric instrument
radiant energy that passes through an object will be partially _____, _____ and ______.
reflected, absorbed and transmitted
this refers to the distance between two successive peaks
wavelength
wavelength is expressed in
nanometer (nm)
this is described as the photons of energy travelling in waves
electromagnetic waves
the relationship of wavelength and energy is described by what
planck’s formula
what is planck’s formula
E = hv
in the formula E = hv, h refers to what
planck’s constant and is equivalent to 6.62 x 10 ^ -27 erg sec
in the formula E = hv, v refers to what
frequency
state the relationship between wavelength and energy
frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, therefore energy of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to wavelength.
where are short wavelength and highly energetic radiation waves situated in the spectrum
left
where are long wavelength radiofrequencies situated in the spectrum
right
where are visible light situated in the spectrum
in between
what can be concluded with the planck’s formula in regards with the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation
the greater the frequency the shorter the wavelength and vice versa.
a method of clinical analysis based on the comparisons of colors produced by an unknown and a standard solution when reacted with similar chemical reagents.
colorimetry
two primary consideration in colorimetric analysis
quantity of color and intensity of color
this form of colorimetry involves the comparison of an unknown solution with a series of colored standard solutions using the naked eye. the unknown then, is diluted until its color matches the standard.
visual colorimetry
this form of colorimetry refers to measurement is done by an instrument which measures light intensity by converting light energy to electric energy.
photoelectric colorimetry
this is the isolation of discreet portions of the spectrum for the purposes of measurement.
photoelectric colorimetry
principle of photoelectric colorimetry
selected light passing through a solution to a greater or lesser extent strikes a photocell or phototube which generates current registered by a galvanometer.
types of photoelectric colorimeter (2)
filter photometer and spectrophotometer
