Spectrophotometry

Simplest type of absorption spectometer, designed to make one measurement at a time at one specific wave lenght.

Single Beam spectrophotometer

Part of spectrophotometer Provides polychromatic light and must generate sufficient radiant energy or power to measure the analyte of interest.

Light/Radiant Source

Commonly used light source in spectrophotometer

Tungsten light bulbs

Routineline used to provide UV radiation innanalytic spectrophotometers.

Filters

Controls width of the light beam (bandpass)- allows only a narrow fraction of the spectrum to reach the sample cuvette

Exit slit

Is the total range of wavelengths transmitted

Bandpass

Also called absorption cell/analytical cell/sample cell

cuvet

Most commonly used cuvet (can be used in 350-2000nm)

Alumina silica glass

photomultiplier tube (PMT)



photodiode

Most sensitive detector and most commlnly used.

Photomultiplier tube (PMT)

displays output of the detection system

meter or read out device

Formula for absorbance

A= abc = 2-log%T




A= absorbance


a= molar absorptivity


b= lenght of light through the solution


c= concentration of absorbig molecules/solution

Fomula for percent transmittance

%T= It/Io x 100




It = trasmitted light thru the sample


Io = intensity of light striking the sample
