Lec 3 Flashcards
measures light and is applied to spectrophotometry
Colorimetry
Law of colorimetry
Involves measurement of the amount of light absorbed by the solution, and that absorption is related to concentration.
2 primary considerations in colorimetric analysis
• quality of light
• intensity of light
A kind of colorimetry that uses the eye in determining the end product/point.
Visual Colorimetry
Duboscq Colorimeter follows _____ Law.
Beer’s Law
A = C x L x K
Beer’s Law formula
The solution’s absorbance is directly proportional to the solution’s concentration
Beer’s Law
The solution’s absorbance is inversely proportional to the transmittance
Beer’s Law
A refined type of visual colorimeter. It is used to determine the concentration of UNKNOWN GLUCOSE solutions
Duboscq Colorimeter
The concentration of the absorbance is equal to the concentration of the substance times the depth
Beer’s Law
Spectrophotometry
Measures light intensity using a device (prism/grating) to disperse the source of light into a continuous spectrum.
Measures light intensity of multiple wavelength using a filter to isolate part of the spectrum
Filter Photometry
Entrance slit is also known as _____
Collimator lens
It narrows down the rays of light coming from the light source
Entrance slit
This separates the white light into different colors, and only one of those colors is allowed to pass through.
Monochromator
It provides radiant energy in the form of visible light that passes through the monochromator.
Light Source
8 types of light source
- Tungsten lamp
- hydrogen lamp
- quartz halide lamp
- deuterium lamp
- Mercury vapor/arc lamp
- Hollow cathode lamp
- LED (light emitting diodes)
- Laser
This light source provided energy wavelength from 340 to 780 nm and wavelength is visible.
Tungsten Lamp
Tungsten lamp that is for visible and UV
Tungsten Iodine Lamp
Tungsten Lamp which is the filament of the lamp.
Tungsten Halide Filaments
TRUE or FALSE:
Tungsten Halide Filaments
- long lasting
- less light at shorter wavelength
- emits a higher intensity radiant energy
FALSE
- MORE light at shorter wavelength
A light source with a wavelength less than 300 nm
Deuterium Lamp
This part of the spectrophotometer minimizes stray light from the light source by preventing scattering of light.
Entrance Slit
Monochromator
A wavelength selector which isolate specific wavelength of light by the use of a prism/grating or both.
4 types of monochromator
Prism, Diffraction grating, Colored filter, Interference filter
A type of monochromator that is a triangular wedge-shaped piece. Made of either glass, quartz, NaCl or KBr.
Prism Monochromator
A prism monochromator for visible spectrum
Glass prism
A prism monochromator used in UV
Quartz / Fused silica prism
A prism monochromator for infrared spectrum
Prism made of NaCl or KBr
