what are the basic parts of an spectrophotometer and what are their functions?

A spectrophotometer consists of three primary components: a light source, optics to deliver and collect the light, and a detector. The main differences between a conventional spectrometer and its single crystal equivalent are the requirements of the optical elements that deliver and collect the light.

Colours of light. Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours.

This is Lambert's Law, the absorbance is directly proportional to the thickness or path length of the absorbing material. A spectrophotometer is often used to study solutions. ... The transmittance of the reference solution is set to 100% (Abs = 0), then the relative transmittance of the solution is measured.

A single beam spectrophotometer uses a reference standard to standardize or blank the instrument before taking measurements. A double beam spectrophotometer splits the beam of light into two different paths, one of which passes through the sample while the other passes through a reference standard.

Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours. The spectrum ranges from dark red at 700 nm to violet at 400 nm.

The key components are an infrared source, a light tube, an interference (wavelength) filter, and an infrared detector. The gas is pumped or diffuses into the light tube, and the electronics measures the absorption of the characteristic wavelength of light.

A transmissometer may be used to measure the optical characteristics over a given path. This instrument is comparable to an application of a telephotometer in which a known light source becomes the target.

Illuminating parts: Illuminating parts are a mirror and a condenser lens. The light beams from different sources are reflected back by the mirror into the condenser lens, which focuses the light onto the specimen. There is an iris diaphragm which regulates the illumination of the field of view.

The lab will help you understand that substances absorb certain wavelengths of light and allow other wavelengths to pass through. The percentage of light transmitted by the colored solution can be detected and converted to absorbance of light. This is directly proportional to the molar concentration of the solution.

For most spectrometers and colorimeters, the useful absorbance range is from 0.1 to 1. Absorbance values greater than or equal to 1.0 are too high. If you are getting absorbance values of 1.0 or above, your solution is too concentrated.

A photometer is a simplified version of a spectrophotometer, which measures the amount of light of a specified wavelength that passes through a sample.
