Conventions in UV-VIS X-axis is wavelength in nm (high energy at left, low energy at right) lmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption and is related to electronic makeup of molecule— especially p electron system Y axis is a measure of absorption of electromagnetic radiation expressed as molar absorptivity (e)
