ENHANCEMENT CLASS: SPECTROPHOTOMETRY Flashcards
Measurement of the intensity of light at selected wavelengths.
SPECTROPHOTOMETRY
Is the distance between two peaks as the light travels in a wavelike manner
WAVELENGHT
According to ________, the concentration of a substance is directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed or inversely proportional to the logarithm of
the transmitted light.
Beer-lambert law
Equation of Beer-lambert law:
A = ebc
Is used to measure the light transmitted by a solution to determine the concentration of the light-absorbing substance in the solution.
