COLORIMETRY Flashcards
Photons of energy travelling in waves.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
Photons means
Light
Relationship between energy and wavelength is
described by __
Planck’s
Relationship between energy and wavelength is
described by Planck’s
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
What is the Planck’s formula
E=hv
What is E in Planck’s formula
energy of photon (joules, EV)
What is h in Planck’s formula
constant
What is the h constant value
6.626 x 10-34 erg sec)
What is the v in plancks
frequency
What is frequency
number of vibration of wave
motion per second
T/F
Frequency is directly proportional to energy
T
v=E
distance between the middle line to the peak
Amplitude
Other term for CREST
PEAK
Important because it tells if light is visible or not
WAVELENGTH
The distance between two successive peaks
(expressed in nanometer)
WAVELENGTH
T/F
Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency
T
↑W = ↓F
↓W = ↑F
<400 nm
Ultraviolet region (UV)
400-700 nm
visible spectrum (normal)
> 700 nm
Infrared region (↓energy)

Most commonly used instrument for measurement of
analytes.
SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Measure the light intensity in a narrower wavelength
SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Determine the light transmitted by the solution
SPECTROPHOTOMETER
State the parts of Spectrophotometer in order
Light Source -> Entrance Slit -> Monochromator -> Exit Slit -> Sample cuvette -> PM tube -> A/D -> Display
Light Source is AKA ?
aka radiant source
Light source provides ____ light
polychromatic
Light with no specific wavelength
polychromatic light
Generates sufficient radiant energy to measure
the analyte of interest
LIGHT SOURCE
Two types of Light Source
Continuum Source
Line Source
Emits radiation that changes in intensity
Continuum Source
Examples of Continuum Source
Tungsten-Iodide Lamp
Deuterium Lamp
Xenon Discharge Lamp
◦ aka incandescent
◦ Provides light up to 1200 nm
◦ Can transport visible spectrum (15%)
and infrared region (the rest)aka incandescent
◦ Provides light up to 1200 nm
◦ Can transport visible spectrum (15%)
and infrared region (the rest)
Tungsten-Iodide Lamp
Emits light up to the UV region
(↓165nm)
Deuterium Lamp
Emits light in UV region and visible
region
Xenon Discharge Lamp
Emits limited radiation and wavelength
Line Source
Examples of Line Source
Mercury Arc Lamp, Sodium Vapor Lamp
Hollow Cathode Lamp
Light Amplification by Stimulated
Emission of Radiation (LASER)
An example of a Line source:
UV region and visible
Mercury Arc Lamp, Sodium Vapor Lamp
An example of a Line source:
Atomic absorption spectrophotometry
(AAS)
Hollow Cathode Lamp
An example of a Line source:
Light stimulation
Different types of LASER emit different wavelengths
Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation (LASER)
5 IMPORTANT FACTORS IN LIGHT SOURCE
- Range
- Spectral Distribution within Range
- Source of Radiant Production
- Stability of Radiant Energy
- Temperature
Prevents entrance of scattered light into the
monochromator
ENTRANCE SLIT
The entrance slit minimizes __
stray light
What is stray light
a light that does not come from
the light source
Aka unwanted light
Stray light
▪ Any wavelength outside the band
transmitted by the monochromator
▪ Most common cause of loss of linearity at
high-analyte concentration
Stray light
Isolate specific wavelength from the polychromatic
light emitted by the light source
MONOCHROMATOR
