2. TEORICAL PRINCIPLE
The light absorption of a substance is selective. As a substance is excited by the radiation of light, the
light absorption effect will occur in the substance. Each substance has its own special absorption spec-
trum. When a homogeneous light passes through a solution, the light energy will be lessened, because
some of the energy is absorbed by the solution. The loss of energy is in proportion to the concentration
of substance.
The spectrophotometer 4481/1 can perform chemical quantitative analysis on sample substance accor-
ding to the principle of colorimetry. Within the range of concentration, all parameters are in compliance
with the Beer's law:
Where:
A: Absorbance
T: Transmittance
I: Intensity of transmitting light
I
: Intensity of the incident ray
0
K: Absorption coefficient of sample
C: Concentration of the substance for measurement
L: Length of sample in optical path
