23
Q

emits limited radiation and wavelength

A

line source

24
Q

2 types of light/ radiant source:

A

Continuum source
Line source

25
Q

emits radiation that changes in intensity; most commonly used

A

continuum source

26
Q

It minimizes any stray light and prevents the entrance of scattered light into the monochromator system

A

entrance slit

27
Q

refers to any wavelengths outside the band transmitted by the monochromator and not by the light source

A

Stray light

28
Q

causes absorbance error most common cause of loss of linearity at high analyte concentration

A

Stray light

29
Q

Isolates specific or individual wavelength of light

A

monochromator

30
Q

Are wedge-shaped pieces of glass, quartz or sodium chloride

A

prisms

31
Q

It can be rotated, allowing only the desired wavelength to pass through an exit slit

A

prisms

32
Q

made by placing a semi-transparent silver films on both sides of dielectric such as magnesium fluoride

A

Filters

33
Q

Are the most commonly used; better resolution than prisms
* Made by cutting grooves into aluminized surface of flat piece of crown glass
* Wavelength are bent as they pass a sharp corner

A

Diffraction gratings

34
Q

Also called absorption cell/analytical cell/sample cell
* It holds the solution whose concentration is to be measured

A

Cuvet

35
Q
  • controls the width of light beam (bandpass)
A

Exit slit

36
Q
  • It detects and converts transmitted light into photoelectric energy
  • It detects the amount of light that passes through the sample in the cuvet
A

Photodetector

37
Q
  • It displays output of the detection system
  • Measures the magnitude of the current generated by the detector
  • Converts electrical energy into readable numbers
  • Examples: galvanometer, ammeter, light-emitting diode (LED) display
A

Read-out/Meter device

38
Q

It states that the concentration of the unknown substance is directly proportional to the absorbed light (absorbance or optical density) or inversely proportional to the logarithm of transmitted light (% transmittance)

A

Beer’s Law

39
Q

the ratio of the radiant energy transmitted divided by radiant energy incident on the sample

A

Percent’s transmittance

40
Q

➢ is the amount of light absorbed
➢ proportional to the inverse log of transmittance

A

Absorbance

41
Q

Didymium glass __nm __ wavelength
✓ Holmium oxide __nm __ wavelength

A

(600nm) higher
(360 nm) lower

42
Q

Means that the blank contains serum but without the reagent to complete the assay

A

Blanking technique

43
Q

measures absorbance of the sample and reagent in the absence of the end product, and corrects the measurement for optical interference (like hemoglobin) absorbing the wavelength of measurements

A

Sample blank

44
Q

corrects absorbance caused by the color of reagents

A

Reagent blank

45
Q

measures the light transmitted by a solution to determine the concentration of the light-absorbing substance in the solution.

A

Spectrophotometry

46
Q

2 kinds of Spectrophotometry

A

Single beam spectrophotometer
Double beam spectrophotometer

47
Q

designed to make one measurement at a time at one specified wavelength

A

Single beam spectrophotometer

48
Q
  • splits the monochromatic light into two components
  • additional beam corrects for variation in light source intensity
A

Double beam spectrophotometer

49
Q

2 types of Double-beam spectrophotometer

A

Double-beam in space
Double-beam in time

50
Q

uses 2 photodetectors, for the sample beam and reference
beam

A

Double-beam in space

51
Q

uses one photodetector and alternately passes the monochromatic light through the sample cuvet and then the reference cuvet using a chopper or rotating sector mirror

A

Double-beam in time

52
Q

for light source variation

A

chopper
