Question

What, specifically, does the spectrophotometer measure? Explain in full; one-word answers will not receive credit. Answer the following questions with respect to Beer's Law and the method of spectrophotometry. The molar absorptivity of a compound varies with its concentration. The lambda_max of a compound varies with its concentration. The axes of a Beer's Law plot are absorbance and concentration The Beer's Law plot calibrates absorbance to wavelength. Absorbance is dependent on the distance traveled by the light through the sample. Absorbance is directly proportional to concentration.

Explanation / Answer

5]

The spectrophotometer is made up of a spectrometer for producing light and a photometer for measuring light intensity. A spectrophotometer is used to measure amount of photons, absorbed by a sample object or the amount of photons reflected from a sample object or the intensity of light.
