Questions and Answers

What is UV spectroscopy?

UV spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the only requirement for a sample to be analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy?

The sample must absorb in the UV-Vis region, i.e. be a chromophore.

What are the parameters of interest in UV-Vis spectroscopy?

Parameters of interest include absorbance (A), transmittance (%T), reflectance (%R), and their change with time.

What is a UV-vis spectrophotometer used for?

<p>A UV-vis spectrophotometer measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light absorbed by a sample, and is widely used in chemistry, biochemistry, and other fields to identify and quantify compounds in samples.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is a complementary technique to absorption spectroscopy?

Study Notes

UV Spectroscopy

UV spectroscopy is a technique used to measure the absorption of light by a sample in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Requirement for UV-Vis Spectroscopy

The only requirement for a sample to be analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy is that it must absorb light in the UV-Vis range.

Parameters of Interest in UV-Vis Spectroscopy

In UV-Vis spectroscopy, the parameters of interest are the wavelength of light absorbed, the extinction coefficient, and the concentration of the absorbing species.

UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

A UV-vis spectrophotometer is used to measure the absorbance of a sample as a function of wavelength, which provides information about the molecular structure and properties of the sample.

Complementary Technique to Absorption Spectroscopy

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a complementary technique to absorption spectroscopy, which measures the emission of light by a sample rather than its absorption.
