proportional to the absorbed light (absorbance or optical density) and
inversely proportional to the amount of transmitted light (%
Transmittance).

- Prevent entrance of scattered light
- “GATE” only permits the needed light

A

Entrance Slit

41
Q

Wavelength outside the band
- Can cause absorbance error
- Stray light limits the maximum
absorbance that spectrophotometer can
achieve
- Most common cause of loss of linearity
at high analyte concentration

A

STRAY LIGHT

42
Q

Isolates specific/individual
wavelength of the light
- DEGREE OF ISOLATION is
affected the the monochomator
and the with of entance and exit

Monochromator

43
Q

Simple least expensive , not precise but useful
- Made by placing semi – transparent silver films on both sides of dielectric
such as magnesium fluoride produce monochromatic light based on the
principle of constructive interference of light waves.
- Usually pass a wide band of radiant energy and have an ion transmittance
of the selected wavelength

A

Colored Filters

44
Q

Wedge – shaped pieces of glass, quarts, or sodium chloride
- A narrow light focused on a prism is refracted as it enters more dense
glass
- Can be rotated allowing only the desired wavelength to pass through exit
slit

A

Prisms

45
Q

“Most Commonly Used”, better resolution than prism
- Made by cutting grooves ( parallel groves) or slit into an aluminized
surface of a flat pieceof crown glass - wavelengths are bent as they pass a
sharp corner

light

A

Cuvette/ Sample Cell/Analytical Cell

48
Q

It controls the with of light beam (band pass). It only allows a fraction of
the spectrum to reach the sample cuvette.
- Spectral purity of the spectrophotometer is reflected by the band pass –
the narrower the band pass, the greater the resolution.
- Accurate absorbance measurement requires a band pass < 1/5 the natural
band pass of the spectrophotometer.
- The degree of wavelength isolation is a function of the type of device used
and the with of entrance and exit slit
