SPECTROPHOTOMETRY Flashcards
Study that observe how radiated matter and energy interact with each
other
Spectroscopy
It involves measurement of the light transmitted by a solution to determine
the concentration of the light – absorbing substance in the solutio
Spectrophotometry
Classification of Spectroscopic Methods
- Gamma Rays
- X- rays
- Ultraviolet (UV
- Visible
- Infrared
- Microwave
- Radio – frequency (RF)
provide the most widely used tools for
the elucidation of molecular structure as well as the quantitative
and qualitative determination of both inorganic and organic
compounds
Spectrochemical Methods
is a form of energy that is transmitted through space at enormous
velocities
- described as a wave with properties of wavelength, frequency, velocity,
and amplitude
- treated as discrete packets of energy or particles called photons or
quanta
Electromagnetic Radiation
It is a vector quantity of an electromagnetic wave that provides a measure of the electric of magnetic field strength at a maximum in the wave
Amplitude
-It is the time in seconds of electromagnetic wave for successive maxima or minima to pass a point in space
Period (p)
It is the number of oscillation that occur in one second
- oscillations of the electric field vector per unit time and is equal to 1/p
Frequency (v)
- Is the linear distance between successive maxima or minima of a wave
Wavelength (λ)
Is the energy of a beam the reaches a given area per unit time
- Unit is in Watts (W
Radiant Power (P)
Is the radiant power-per-unit solid angle
Intensity
States that the relationship between wavelength and energy are
INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL.
Planck’s Law:
E = hv
Planck’s Law:
<400 nm wavelength
UV region
400 - 700 nm
visible spectrum
> 700 nm
infrared region
Samples are stimulated by applying energy
- Heat
- Electrical energy
- Light
- Particles
- Chemical reaction
Lowest Energy
Ground State
Higher energy
Excited State
Refers to the methods in which the stimulus is heat or electrical energy
Emission Spectroscopy
- Refers to excitation of the analyte by a chemical reaction
Chemiluminescence Spectroscopy
s found in the light emitted by a firefly
Chemiluminescence
Chemiluminescence involving a biological or enzyme reaction is often
termed
bioluminescence
Amount of light absorbed is measured as a function of wavelength
- Absorption measurement can give both qualitative and quantitative
information about the sample
Absorption Spectroscopy
The emission of photons is measured following absorption
Photoluminescence Spectroscopy
Forms of Photoluminescence
- Fluorescence
- Phosphorescence
