Study Notes

UV-Vis Spectrometers

  • UV-Vis spectrometers operate within the wavelength range of 190-1100 nm

Spectroscopy Fundamentals

  • A spectrum is a graphical representation of the intensity of radiation versus wavelength or frequency
  • The energy of a photon (E) is inversely proportional to its wavelength (λ), as represented by the equation E = hC/λ
  • The energy of a photon (E) is directly proportional to its wavenumber (ν), as represented by the equation E = hν
  • In the equation E = hC/λ, 'C' denotes the velocity of light

Photon Energy and Wavelength/Wavenumber Relationships

  • As the wavelength of a photon decreases, its energy increases
  • As the wavenumber of a photon increases, its energy increases

Limitations of UV-Vis Spectrometers

  • UV-Vis spectrometers are limited in their operation to a specific wavelength range, typically between 190-1100 nm
