What is a spectrophotometer used for?
Measuring the intensity of light
Measuring temperature
Measuring pressure
Measuring volume
Which type of electromagnetic radiation does a spectrophotometer measure?
Infrared radiation
Ultraviolet radiation
Visible light
X-rays
What is the unit of measurement for absorbance in a spectrophotometer?
Watts
Joules
Lumens
None of the above - it's a dimensionless quantity
What is the Beer-Lambert law?
A law that states that the amount of light absorbed by a sample is proportional to its concentration and path length
A law that describes the relationship between force and acceleration
A law that governs the behavior of gases at low pressures
A law that explains the reflection of light from surfaces
What is the purpose of a blank in spectrophotometry?
To calibrate the instrument
To measure the background absorbance of the solvent or buffer
To determine the concentration of the sample
To check for contamination
What is the difference between transmittance and absorbance in a spectrophotometer?
Transmittance measures the amount of light that passes through a sample, while absorbance measures the amount of light that is absorbed by a sample
Transmittance and absorbance are two different names for the same thing
Transmittance measures the wavelength of light, while absorbance measures the frequency of light
Transmittance and absorbance are not used in spectrophotometry
What is the range of wavelengths that can be measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer?
200-400 nm
300-700 nm
800-1200 nm
1500-2000 nm
Which type of sample holder is typically used for liquid samples in a spectrophotometer?
Quartz cuvette
Plastic vial
Glass slide
Metal plate
What is the purpose of a monochromator in a spectrophotometer?
To measure the intensity of light
To filter out unwanted wavelengths of light
To amplify the signal from the detector
To convert light into electrical energy
What is the difference between a single-beam and a double-beam spectrophotometer?
A single-beam spectrophotometer measures one sample at a time, while a double-beam spectrophotometer can measure two samples simultaneously
A single-beam spectrophotometer uses a different type of detector than a double-beam spectrophotometer
A single-beam spectrophotometer is more accurate than a double-beam spectrophotometer
There is no difference between the two types of spectrophotometers
How does a spectrophotometer determine the concentration of a sample?
By measuring its transmittance or absorbance and comparing it to a standard curve
By measuring its weight and volume
By analyzing its chemical composition
By measuring its temperature and pressure
