Study Notes

Spectrophotometer

The primary function of a spectrophotometer is to measure the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by a sample.
A spectrophotometer measures the absorbance or transmittance of a sample at specific wavelengths.
The instrument analyzes samples by passing light through the sample and measuring the absorbance or transmittance of the sample at specific wavelengths.
The component that helps to split light into different wavelengths is a prism or a diffraction grating.
