What are the three different types of spectroscopy?
Absorption, emission and stimulated emission

New cards
How do you calculate transmittance?
T = I/I0
3
New cards
How do you calculate absorbance without transmittance?
A = εcl
4
New cards
How do you calculate absorption using the transmittance?
A = -logT
5
New cards
What are the units for the molar absorption coefficient?
cm^-1mol^-1dm^3
6
New cards
Where does the Beer Lambert Law start to fail?
At high concentrations when the molecules can interact with each other, which causes ε to change
