Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between a photometer and a spectrophotometer?

Photometers measure light absorption in the visible portion of the spectrum, while spectrophotometers measure light absorption in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared portions of the spectrum.

Photometers are limited to colorimetric procedures, while spectrophotometers are limited to spectrophotometric procedures.

Photometers have greater flexibility and increased sensitivity compared to spectrophotometers.

Photometers use a light filter for the wavelength at which the photometric measurements are made, while spectrophotometers use a diffraction grating or a prism along with a slit to get monochromatic light. (correct)

What type of light do light filters transmit in photometers?

A narrow range of spectral region (8-30nm) (correct)

Monochromatic light

Ultraviolet light

Infrared light

Study Notes

Photometer vs Spectrophotometer

A photometer measures the total intensity of light, whereas a spectrophotometer measures the intensity of light at specific wavelengths.

Light Filters in Photometers

Light filters in photometers transmit monochromatic light (light of a single color or wavelength).

Advantages of Spectrometers

Spectrometers offer more detailed information about the properties of a sample compared to photometers.
Spectrometers can measure the absorbance of light at multiple wavelengths, providing more comprehensive data.

Limitations of Procedures

Colorimetric procedures are limited to the visible portion of the spectrum.

Spectrophotometry

Spectrophotometry is an analytical instrument based on the direct measurement of color intensity in terms of light absorbed at specific wavelengths.
