"absorbance"

Since in the experiment, you probably choose the wavelength, then measure the absorbance (absorption?, the absorbance is the dependent variable.

In relation to spectroscopy what is the Optimum wavelength and how to find it?

The optimum wavelength is the wavelength by which the most light is absorbed by a substance. It can be found by finding the highest absorbance obtained when testing the substance's absorbance at various wavelengths. The wavelength that results in the greatest light absorbance is your optimum wavelength.


What is analytical wavelength?

Absorbance maximum


What is the purpose of wavelength scan?

Wavelength scans measure the absorbance and emission of light through a sample. Absorbance is proportional to concentration and a wavelength scan can be used to determine concentrations of a sample.

What wavelength is the peak absorbance of cobalt chloride?

What is the name of the point at which wavelength independent pH and absorbance?

isosbestic point


Why absorbance is decreased after maximum wavelength achieved?

It must, of course!: - Because Lambdamax in a Wavelength-Range is defined this way!


What causes change in a dependent variable?

The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable, so when the independent variable changes, so does the dependent variable.

What is the optimum wavelength of light absorbed by chlorophyll and why?

The optimum wavelength of chlorophyll is 430nm (in a light spectrum of 380nm-750nm going in 10 incements) We did a lab and it required us to determine the optimum wavelength of chlorophyll by testing the absorbance of light in 10nm increments from 380nm-750nm. Optimum wavelength is the wavelength of light that is absorbed best by a substance. So when we tested all the wavelngths 380-750 in 10 increments (380,390,400,410,420....) 430 had the highest absorbance. we used a Spec 20 machine to find the absorbance.


What is a dependent variable is?

is dependent on the independent variable


Is the dependent variable the results?

Yes, the dependent variable is the variable which is measured.
