SPECTROSCOPY Flashcards
(13 cards)
based on the absorption of photons by the analyte.
Spectrometry
The energy of ultimately indivisible unit of radiation
Photon
patterns of absorption and/or emission
Spectra
The field of _____ is concerned with the interpretation of spectra in terms of atomic and molecular structure
Spectroscopy
the distance of one complete cycle
wavelength
the number of cycles passing a fixed point per unit time.
frequency
reciprocal of the wavelength and the number of waves in a unit length or distance per cycle. another way to describe electromagnetic radiation.
wavenumber
is the energy of a beam that reaches a given area per unit time (in WATTS)
Radiant Power
is the radiant power-per-unit solid angle
intensity
is an instrument that measures the amount of photons absorbed after it passes through sample solution.
spectrophotometer
uses light over the ultraviolet range (185 - 400 nm) and visible range (400 - 700 nm) of electromagnetic
radiation spectrum.
UV-Spectrophotometer
Two Types of Spectrometer
- UV-Spectrophotometer
- IR-Spectrophotometer
uses light over the infrared range (700 - 15000 nm) of electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
IV-Spectrophotometer
