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
