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
this is when particles are moved from their normal room temperature state, or ground state, to one or more higher-energy excited states.
ABSORPTION OF RADIATION
normal room temperature state
ground state
is produced when excited particles (atoms, ions or molecules) relax to lower energy levels by giving up their excess energy as photons
electromagnetic radiation
electromagnetic radiation is produced when excited particles (atoms, ions or molecules) relax to lower energy levels by giving up their excess energy as
photons
causes of 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
principle of uv vis
irradiation with a beam of electromagnetic radiation
this is when electromagnetic radiation is transmitted at all angles from the original path; usually observed when atomic or molecular particles are small relative to the wavelength of the radiation
SCATTERING
a parallel beam of radiation is bent as it passes by a sharp barrier or through a narrow opening
DIFFRACTION OF RADIATION
type of energy that is commonly known as light
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
aka white light
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION is propagate in 2 fields known as
Electric and Magnetic Field Oscillation
