The maximum absorbance of methyl orange typically occurs at around 464 nm, not 242 nm. At 242 nm, the absorbance may be lower or not significant, as this wavelength is outside the main absorption range for methyl orange. For accurate absorbance values, it is important to refer to specific absorption spectra or experimental data for methyl orange.
Yes, it is possible to calculate the chromaticity coordinates using absorbance values. The best way to calculate the chromaticity coordinates using absorbance values is by using the formula x = x/x+y+z.
Proteins exhibit two absorbance peaks around 280 nm primarily due to the presence of aromatic amino acids, such as tryptophan and tyrosine. Tryptophan has a strong absorbance peak near 280 nm, while tyrosine contributes a smaller peak at the same wavelength. The combined absorbance from these amino acids allows for the estimation of protein concentration in solutions, as they are key components in the protein structure.

It will have fallen to -30o
specific absorbance- it is absorbance in a solution containing one gm of substance in 100 ml solvent in 1cm shell. so it is having a difference with absorbance which is negative logarithm of incident light to the transmitted light. divya.chakraborty@gmail.com
Hypericin salts are red in organic solvents and show a typical absorbance at 590 nm, which is useful to quantify hypericin in the drug extracts
"absorbance"Since in the experiment, you probably choose the wavelength, then measure the absorbance (absorption?, the absorbance is the dependent variable.
Blank Sample in Spectrophotometry is used to measure the absorbance of light without sample. It is subtracted from the total absorbance for measurement of Absorbance from a sample's absorbance.
Acetone exhibits absorbance at 280nm due to the presence of its carbonyl group (C=O), which is associated with a peak in the ultraviolet-visible spectrum at that wavelength. The absorbance at 280nm is a characteristic feature of the electronic transitions within the molecular structure of acetone.
Absorbance is considered a continuous variable.
Simply because we cannot measure light absorbed. We are, however, able to measure light transmitted through the use of a spectrophotometer. The device works by shining light of a specific wavelength on a substance and measuring the amount of light that gets through. This "transmittance" has a negative logarithmic relationship to absorbance.
in primary light absorbed by outer molecule while in secondary re-absorbance occurs
If you have a spectrofotometer ( the thing to mesure the absorbance) then play with the setting and use a maximum. this will lay close to your specific absorbance or take the pharmacopea or a MERCK index

In UV spectroscopy, the baseline refers to the horizontal line at zero absorbance on the absorbance axis. It represents the reference point for measuring the absorbance of the sample. The baseline should be stable and noise-free to ensure accurate measurement of the absorbance of the sample.
A spectrometer can provide absorbance information in a number of ways.. For example transmissivity can be given as a percentage value. The absorbance is often represented on a log scale. It may be calculated by: A = -log10(I/I0) Since incident light intensity must be greater than detected light intensity, Absorbance technically can't be negative. However, a spectrometer must be zeroed before each use to provide a baseline. If a material which is contaminated or otherwise inappropriate is used to zero the spectrometer, it may give a bad baseline, and thus a sample may appear to give negative absorbance. The 'blank' which was used to zero the spectrometer would have had higher absorptivity than the sample. Another instance in which you may get negative absorption could be fluorescence. If your material is excited by light, it can emit light at a different frequency. Detecting at this frequency may produce negative absorption. Similarly, 'upconversion' by certain porphyrins may also cause emission at certain wavelengths.
