white light) is allowed to fall on a substance, then the frequencies absorbed by the substance are studied. This type of spectrum is an absorption spectrum and called an absorption spectroscopy. The spectrum shows that the light separated into its constituent wavelength and intensity plotted at each wavelngth. This separation process is known as Spectroscopy. In spectroscopy the emitted or absorbed radiation is split into the various frequency components and the intensity is measured by means of an instrument called a spectrometer.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is defined as the measurement of the attenuation of a beam of light after it pass through the sample or after reflection from a sample.Single wavelength or over an extended range can be the absorption measurement of UV spectroscopy . The ultraviolet region falls in the range between 190-380 nm, the visible region fall between 380-750 nm. (1) Principle Origin of UV-visible spectra When the matter interacts with radiation ,various process such as absorbance, fluorescence/phosphorescence ,reflection, scattering, and photochemical reaction can be occur.The measuring of UV-visible spectra is only depend the absorbance due to absorption of light by matter can increase the energy level of molecule.. The sum of the molecule’s
another glass cell of similar dimensions containing the colorless solvent). Hence, for practical purposes the equation becomes I0=Ia+It P. Bouguer (1729) and J. H. Lambert (1760) investigated the effect of the thickness of the absorbing medium on the intensity of light. Lambert’s law states that when a monochromatic light passes through a transparent medium, the rate of decrease in the intensity with the thickness of the medium, the rate of decrease in the intensity with the thickness of the medium is proportional to the intensity of the incident light. The differential form of the law is given as -dI0/dt=kI0 Where I0 is the intensity of the incident light, t is the thickness of the medium (also called the optical path length), and k is the proportionality factor. The integrated form of the above equation is given
The experiment required us to test first the relationship between wavelength of light and absorbance. The chloroplast pigments from the tissue were used to see which wavelength of light absorbed the most light. The result of this part of the experiment showed that the wavelength 432nm had the highest absorbance of 0.286. Next, we tested the absorbance of different colored lights. This part of the experiment tested the results of absorbance of red, green, white, purple, blue and no light using DCIP.
There are various techniques: UV-SPECTROSCOPY: Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region. This means it uses light in the visible and adjacent (near-UV and near-infrared (NIR)) ranges. In this region of 200nm-700nm the molecules undergo electronic transitions. This is based upon the beer lambert law which states that whenever a monochromatic light is passed through a absorbing sample then the decrease in the light intensity is exponentially proportional to the concentration and the thickness of the sample: I0 = intensity of incident light I = intensity of transmitted light c = concentration of the medium l = thickness of the
Spectrophotometry Prepared for: Dr. Joseph Dasso By: Lucy Onsarigo Biology 1406 C5L September 23rd, 2014 Introduction Spectophotometry is the ability of molecules to absorb and transmit light energy for determining the concentration of substances in a solution. (Mark Garcia 2014). The instrument used is called spectrophotometer to distinguish different compounds since they absorb light at different wavelength. Some have wide range of wavelength and the shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. For one to know the absorbed light one has to put a cuvette into a sample holder with a solution and record the amount of light transmitted and absorbed through the solution.

Any molecule can go into an electronically excited state when exposed to light of a wavelength (energy level) equal to the energy gap between the ground state and excited state. This is known as molecular absorbance of light. The amount of light absorbed is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing molecule. This connection is described in Lambert-Beers law, where the wavelength dependent absorbance A is described Where A is the absorbance I0 and I the intensity of incoming and transmitted light, ε the molar absortivity expressed in L×mol-1×cm-1, c the concentration in mol×L-1 and l the effective pathway of the sample in cm (Lothian, 1963). Measurement of the absorbance of a sample over a wavelength range results in an absorbance
The fluorescence intensity of the formed metal chelates was directly proportional to the drug concentration in the linear range of 0.07 – 0.80 µg ml-1 of MBZ. The method have very high linearity as the calculated correlation coefficients (>0.9996) were very close to 1. Other analytical parameters of proposed method are presented in (Table 2). 3.5.2. Detection and quantitation limits Sensitivity of the developed method was evaluated by calculating the detection and quantitation limits.
But the wave model is not sufficient to explain the phenomena known as the ‘Photoelectric effect’. This effect was discovered when some electrons were emitted when light was focused on certain metals. There is a minimum threshold frequency of electromagnetic radiation for each metal needed to be directed to its surface in order to emit electrons. A certain amount of light could not be replaced with one frequency along with twice as much as light of half the frequency. The effect of light should be cumulative if light only acts as a wave and little by little the light should add up until it leads electrons to be emitted.
