Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of a spectrophotometer in the laboratory?

  • To determine the presence of a substance in a solution (correct)
  • To create images of chemical compounds
  • To separate different wavelengths of light
  • To emit monochromatic light
  • What is the origin of the word 'spectrophotometer'?

  • Latin word for light and Greek word for spectrum
  • Latin word spectrum and Greek word phos (correct)
  • Latin word for image and Greek word spectrum
  • Latin word for light and Greek word for image
  • How does spectrophotometry measure the absorbance of monochromatic light?

  • By capturing light intensity leaving the sample and comparing it with that which passed through the sample
  • By guiding light through a device that selects a specific wavelength and passes it through a sample (correct)
  • By emitting light with special characteristics and capturing its interaction with the sample
  • By transmittance calculation based on substance concentration ratios
