CHAPTER 1
U.V, Visible and IR spectrometry
Analytical Instrumentation
 Analytical instruments are primarily used to obtained qualitative and quantitative
information regarding the composition of a given unknown sample.
 The basic building blocks are:
 Chemical information source generates signal containing information of the unknown
sample.
 Analytical instruments then generate signal based on the composition of the sample. This
stage forms an important building block in analytical instruments where the separation,
detection and of the composition is done by employing either emission or absorption or
scattering of electromagnetic radiation as the key principle of detection.
Electromagnetic Radiation
 Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that is transmitted through space at a speed of
3 × m/sec.
 These radiations do not require a medium of propagation and can also travel through
vacuum.
 Relation between the energy of electromagnetic radiation (normally called as photons) and
frequency of its propagation is given by
where E: energy
h: Planck’s constant ergs-s (or) Joules-s
ν: frequency
 If λ is the wavelength interval between successive maxima and minima of the wave), then
C = νλ
Where C: velocity of propagation of radiant energy in vacuum.

Visible and Ultraviolet: Calorimeter and Spectrophotometer
 In the visible and ultraviolet region of spectrum, the method of analysis employed by the
analytical instruments are based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
 Calorimeters and spectrophotometers are the analytical instruments used in this region.
Principle
 Whenever a beam of radiant energy strikes the surface of a substance (analyte or sample),
the radiation interacts with the atoms or molecules of the substance resulting in absorption
(or) transmittance or scattering (reflection) depending on the properties of the sample.
 Absorption spectroscopy is based on the principle that the amount of absorption that occurs
is dependent on the number of molecules present in the sample.
 Here the analysis is done by studying the intensity of the radiant power leaving the
substance, i.e., the transmitted radiation which is an indication of concentration of the
sample.
 The absorbance is calculated as;
Transmittance (T)
where:
p: energy transmitted
P : Incident energy
Absorbance log ( ⁄ )
log ( )
Optical density log ( ⁄ )
Beer – Lamberts Law
 This law gives a relation between energy absorbed by the sample and the energy
transmitted.
Absorbance (A) = abc
where:
a is the absorptivity of the sample (constant)

b is the thickness of the absorbing material
c is the concentration of the sample
As we known, A log ( ⁄ ) and T
p
P⁄
∴ log ( ⁄ ) abc log ( ) and T =
Assumptions
1. Here the radiation used is monochromatic (single wave length) in nature.
2. Sample is of low concentration.
3. The others factors that influence the absorption are not considered.
The instrument module for UV and visible spectrometry can be pictorized as below
Example: The transmittance of a coloured solution is 0.5, the absorption of the solution is?
A = log = log ) = 0.3
Example: In a particular sample the absorption is 0.6 for a molar concentration of the solute of
1.0 moles and 2cm path length the molar absorptivity is?
A = abc a =
Substitute a = 3000
Radiation sources used are
1. Hydrogen or deuterium discharge lamp(U.V)
2. Incandescent filament lamps 350nm – 2.5µm
3. Tungsten halogen lamps (visible)
Wavelength selection is done with the various dispersive techniques given.
Optical Filters
Absorption Filter
 These optical filters usually absorb the radiation and transmit light of single wavelength.
 There efficiency is poor, when compared to other filters.
Interference Filters
 These filters use interference phenomena.

 Thus, these filters normally have semi-transparent layers.
 Light, which is incident on it undergoes multiple reflections between the pair of semi
transparent layers and the wavelength that is transmitted through them is determined by
the thickness of the dielectric layer.
 The wavelength selection is done by the relation:
m λ d n) sin θ
where θ : angle of incidence
d : thickness of dielectric spaces,
n : refractive index of dielectric spacer.
m : order of interference
λ : wavelength
Monochromators
 They are the another class of filters, which provide better isolation than optical filters.
 They are capable or isolating a narrow band of wavelengths effectively.
 Principle employed for separation of wavelength is done by using a dispersing medium,
where the radiant energy gets isolated.
 Dispersion of radiant energy into different wavelength’s is usually done by prism
monochromators or by diffraction grating.
Prism Monochromators
 Here in prism monochromators, the isolation of different wavelengths is done by using the
refractive index of wavelengths, which is different for different wavelengths.
 Thus, radiation of different wavelengths gets disperssed at different angles by prism.
 Prisms are normally made of glass or quartz. Glass is used in visible region and quartz for
ultraviolet region.
Resolving Power (R)
The term resolving power is applied to spectrum producing devices and means as the ability of
the instrument to form separate images of two closely adjacent spectral lines.
 It is defined generally by the equation
where R: resolving power
λ : wavelength
dλ : smallest wavelength separation, which is separable with the instrument.
 dλ λ λ and .
For prism, the resolving power is given by the expression:
t
where dμ is the difference or refractive index
t : base of the prism.
Example: A prism spectrometer uses flint glam prism with glam dispersion 952cm-1 and dλ =
6 0A at λ = 5893 0A find base t of prism?
