  • The spectrophotometer is an instrument used to measure the effect of a sample on a beam of light. We can learn a lot about a substance by studying the way it interacts with light.
    In this video, we'll demonstrate how to use a spectrophotometer to perform a basic experiment: determining the absorbance spectrum of red food coloring.
    Included in the video is a short animation that illustrates the inner workings of a spectrophotometer.
    Special thanks to Joe Issa and the Gaston College Biotechnology department for helping to make this video.

    How do you determine the wavelength that should be used? can it be a constant, and keep it the same for all my samples?

    • @darksector1389
      @darksector1389 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm assuming they are using a hydrogen source light where it has a constant wavelength when it enters the spectrometer. Then use this equation: d sin(theta) = m (lambda), where d = grating distance (which is written on device), m = 2 (using Balmer series for visible wavelengths). Then you get four discrete wavelengths of: 410 nm, 434 nm, 485 nm, 656 nm which are the spectrum of hydrogen emission.

    What does this plot mean? What's our interpretation?
    As you can see, the absorbance is relatively high for wavelengths below 600, but 600 above is not absorbed and hence, transmitted.
    So the photons reaching your eyes from going through this solution, mostly have wavelengths between 600 and above and hence, the red color.
    I hope this helped a bit.

    @rrbuff1960 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I am not totally sure of your question here. The sample concentration is irrelevant for this activity. If you plot wavelength on x axis (380, 405, 430 nm....... ) versus the measured absorbance on the y axis you will find the wavelength of maximum absorbance, called lambda max. Each color has its own lambda max. That is the goal for this particular lab.

    • @jennifermiranda6998
      @jennifermiranda6998 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing. If the dilutions are made of the same solution, then why vary the wavelength? That and/or molar absorptivity should be the same, unless again, the samples are different. Also, no need to place the blank every time you run a sample made of the same solution (but only being diluted). Blank should be read again if you are running a different solution sample. Again, that's just me. I think they did these customizations for demonstration purposes.

    2..if 10% is transmitted then 90% should be absorbed or used anywhere else?

      Theoretically you can do the read using an USB sound adaptor and bypass the input cap on the microphone, then use the sound output of a moving loudspeaker with a prism glued on top to filter the light, and a photodiode in the mic input to read the level of absorbance on each wavelenght.
