UV Vis Flashcards
the study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter
SPECTROSCOPY
the measurement of the interactions between light and matter, and the reactions and measurements of radiation intensity and wavelength
SPECTROMETRY
the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength
SPECTROPHOTOMETRY
name the 5 Basic Interactions of Light and Matter
2R SAD
Reflection
Refraction
Scattering
Absorption
Diffraction
particles are moved from their normal room temperature state, or ___________, to one or more higher-energy excited states.
ground state
identify the light-matter interaction
electromagnetic energy is transferred to the atoms, ions or molecules of the sample when radiation passes through a layer of solid, liquid or gas
ABSORPTION OF RADIATION
identify the light-matter interaction
electromagnetic radiation is produced when excited particles (atoms, ions or molecules) relax to lower energy levels by giving up their excess energy as photons
EMISSION OF RADIATION
4 causes of radiation emission
(1) bombardment with electrons or elementary particles, which leads to emission of X-radiation
(2) exposure to an electric current or intense heat source producing UV, visible or IR radiation
(3) irradiation with a beam of electromagnetic radiation
(4) an exothermic chemical reaction that produces chemiluminescence
________ reaction causes chemiluminescence
exothermic
electromagnetic radiation is transmitted at all angles from the original path
SCATTERING OF RADIATION
usually observed when atomic or molecular particles are small relative to the wavelength of the radiation
SCATTERING OF RADIATION
a parallel beam of radiation is bent as it passes by a sharp barrier or through a narrow opening
DIFFRACTION OF RADIATION
large wavelength = (small/large) diffraction
large
type of energy that is commonly known as light
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION is formed by _______ and _______
Electric Field Oscillation + Magnet Field Oscillation
