    Study Notes

    What is a Spectrophotometer?

    • A spectrophotometer measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample.
    • It is used to measure the concentration of solutes in solution by measuring the amount of light absorbed by the solution in a cuvette.

    Spectrophotometry

    • Spectrophotometry is a method to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light by measuring the intensity of light as a beam of light passes through a sample solution.
    • Each compound absorbs or transmits light over a certain range of wavelength.
    • This measurement can also be used to measure the amount of a known chemical substance.

    Spectrometer

    • A spectrometer produces a desired range of wavelength of light.
    • It consists of:
      • A collimator (lens) that transmits a straight beam of light (photons).
      • A monochromator (prism) that splits the light into several component wavelengths (spectrum).
      • A wavelength selector (slit) that transmits only the desired wavelengths.

    Applications of Spectrophotometers

    • Spectrophotometry is one of the most useful methods of quantitative analysis in various fields, including:
      • Chemistry
      • Physics
      • Biochemistry
      • Material and chemical engineering
      • Clinical applications

    Types of Spectrophotometers

    • Visible spectrophotometers
    • UV/Visible spectrophotometers
    • NIR (Near-Infrared) spectrophotometers
    • NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectrophotometers
    • Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers

    Using a Spectrophotometer in Lab

    • A spectrophotometer is used in lab to measure the concentration of solutes in solution.
    • A standard curve is plotted to determine the unknown concentration of a sample.
    • A standard curve is a plot of absorbance vs. concentration of a known substance.
