An instrument for measuring the intensity of light of a definite wavelength transmitted by a substance or a solution. Visible Spectrophotometer U.V Spectrophotometer
A spectrophotometer measures how light interacts with atoms or molecules in a sample.
Components of spectrophotometer A spectrophotometer consists of a light source , a prism that separates the light into different wavelengths, a slit through which a narrow beam of the desired wavelength passes, a sample holder, a detector , and a recording device
Beer Law • Beer Law states that there is a linear relationship between the absorbance and the concentration of a sample. A = = L [C] More dissolved substance = more absorption (A) and less transmittance (T)
