Introduction to Spectrophotometry
Properties of Light:Electromagnetic radiation moves in waves
Light (called electromagnetic radiation) moves in waves.
Wavelength = different types of light have different wavelengths. Some are longer than others. For instance, in the visible light spectrum, red light waves are longer than blue light waves.
Wavelengths are commonly given in ????
Lambda λ

What are Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry??
Light can either be transmitted or absorbed by dissolved substances.
Presence & concentration of dissolved substances is analyzed by passing light through the sample.
Spectroscopes measure electromagnetic emission
Spectrophotometers measure electromagnetic absorption
![Page 7: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Instruments of Measurement
Two most common:
1. Visible Spectrophotometer
2. Atomic-Absorption Spectrophotometer
![Page 8: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Instruments of Measurement
What do visible spectrophotometers measure?
Amount of light absorbed by the dissolved substance
Qualitative
Quantitative
- The absorption of light indicates the presence of the substance. This is a qualitative measurement.
- The amount of light absorbed measures the concentration of the dissolved substance. This is a quantitative measurement.
![Page 9: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Absorption of Light
White lightAll colors
Polychromatic light
- When white (polychromatic) light passes through a coloured solution some of the light is absorbed by the substances in the solution, and the rest passes through.
- For Example: Green solution absorbs light other than green.
![Page 10: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Absorption of Light
Monochromatic light
Light of one color- For example: If white light is made to pass through a red filter, all
light except red is filtered out and absorbed. Therefore, only red light hits the solution.
Red light is absorbedby the green solution

The Spectrophotometer
Optical filters/prisms:To limit light to a certain wavelength
Monochromator can isolate a specific wavelength of white light and allow it to pass through the solution being analyzed.
Tubes or cuvettes:Visible range = glass cuvette
UV range = quartz cuvette
Photocell: To detect transmitted light,

Spectrophotometry
• Definitions & Symbols:• Radiation Intensity (I)
• It : is the radiation transmitted by the solution.
• Io : is the radiation transmitted by the pure solvent (blank).
Transmittance (T)
It’s also referred to as %T or T x 100
%T = It x 100
Io
• Io It

Spectrophotometry
• Definitions & Symbols:• ABSORBANCE (A) • A = log(1/T) = -log(T)
• A = log Io = log Io – log It
It
• Absorbance is what is generally recorded from a spectrophotometer.
![Page 18: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Beer’s LawMore dissolved substance = more absorption and less transmittance.
Beer-Lambert’s Law is:
A = l C
Log Io = l C It
A= Absorbance (no units)
Io = intensity of incident light
It = intensity of transmitted light
= molar extinction coefficient, molar absorptivity
c = concentration of the absorbing species (mol/L)
l = path length of the light-absorbing sample (cm)
![Page 19: Introduction to Instrumental Analysis - Spectrophotometry Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa Lecture 11 Done by Lecturer : Amal Abu-Mostafa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dc45503460f94ab6bbf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Sample ProblemCytosine has a molar extinction coefficient of 6 x 103 mol-1 cm-1 at 270 nm at pH 7. Calculate absorbance of 1 x 10-3 M cytosine solution in 1mm cell at 270 nm.
Solution:
A = Log Io = l C It
= 6 x 103 mol-1 .cm-1
l = 1mm = 0.1 cm
C = 1 x 10-3 M
A = l c = (6 x 103)x (0.1) x (1 x 10-3)
= 6 x 10-1
= 0.6

Spectrophotometric techniques
Are used to measure the concentration of solutes in solution by measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by the solution in a cuvette placed in the spectrophotometer.
Spectrophotometry: Measures light absorbed by solution at a specific wavelength.
One of the simplest and most widely used methods to determine the amount of protein or nucleic acid present in a given solution

Applications of a spectrophotometer
Determines the presence and concentrations of samples.
Determines the purity of a sample.
Look at the change of samples over time.
