UV-Vis Spectroscopy in Analysis

UV-Vis spectroscopy is a common analysis method used to study how samples absorb ultraviolet and visible light. It works by sending UV-Vis light through a sample and measuring how much light passes through. From that transmittance, or light that gets through, the absorbance can be calculated as A = -log(T).

Ultraviolet-visible, or UV-Vis, spectroscopy is one of the most popular analytical techniques in the laboratory.

In UV-Vis spectroscopy, light is passed through a sample at a specific wavelength in the UV?or visible spectrum. If the sample absorbs some of the light, not all of the light will be pass through, or be transmitted. Transmission...
