  1. Chapter 13 An Introduction to Ultraviolet/Visible Molecular Absorption Spectrometry

  2. Terms & Symbols

  3. Beer’s Law log Po/P = ebc = A The derivation of this law assumes • That the incident radiation is monochromatic. • The absorption occurs in a volume of uniform cross-section. • The absorbing substances behave independently of each other in the absorbing process.

  4. Beer’s Law Limitations to Beer’s Law • Real Limitations to Beer’s Law • Apparent Chemical Deviations • Apparent Instrumental Deviations with Polychromatic Radiation • Instrumental Deviations in the Presence of Stray Radiation

  5. The Effects of Instrumental Noise on Spectrophotometric Analyses Types of Noise • Shot noise – This noise is generated by current flowing across a P-N junction and is a function of the bias current and the electron charge. The impulse of charge q depicted as a single shot event in the time domain can be Fourier transformed into the frequency domain as a wideband noise. • Thermal noise – In any object with electrical resistance the thermal fluctuations of the electrons in the object will generate noise. • White noise- The spectral density of thermal noise is flat with frequency. • Burst noise – Occurs in semiconductor devices, especially monolithic amplifiers and manifests as a noise crackle.

  6. The Effects of Instrumental Noise on Spectrophotometric Analyses Types of Noise • Avalanche noise – Occurs in Zener diodes are reversed biased P-N junctions at breakdown. This noise is considerably larger than shot noise, so if zeners have to be used as part of a bias circuit then they need to be RF decoupled. • Flicker noise – This noise occurs in almost all electronic devices at low frequencies. Flicker noise is usually defined by the corner frequency FL. Sources of Noise • Case I: sT = k1 • Case II: sT = k2(T2 + T) ½ • Case III: sT = k3T
