1. Sensing Light
a) Humans have two light detectors.
b) Do you know what they are called?
Rods and Cones!!!

Color Vision
c) Cones Current understanding
is that the 6 to 7 million cones can be divided
into "red" cones (64%), "green" cones (32%), and "blue" cones (2%)
![Page 14: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
d) Rods not sensitive to color. They are responsible
for our dark-adapted, or scotopic, vision (night vision)
e) Sensitive to light. The rods are
incredibly efficient photoreceptors.
More than one thousand times as sensitive as the cones,
they can reportedly be triggered by individual photons under optimal conditions.

The color of an object is determined by which wavelengths of light it reflects.
If the object absorbs light of a particular color, then that color does not reach our eyes when we look at that object.

Basics of Spectrophotometry
![Page 27: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Blank
The blank contains the solvent and any reagents that are added to the sample.
![Page 28: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sample
Well-mixed No air bubbles No particulate Avoid fingerprints on
cuvette
![Page 29: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
%TransmittanceThe ratio of the amount of light
transmitted through a sample to that of the blank
t = Light transmitted through sample
Light transmitted through blank
![Page 30: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
First, the intensity of light (I0) passing through a blank is measured. T for transmittanceThe intensity is the number of photons per second.
The blank is a solution that is identical to the sample solution except that the blank does not contain the solute that absorbs light. This measurement is necessary, because the cell itself
scatters some of the light.
![Page 31: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Second, the intensity of light (I) passing through the sample solution is measured. (In practice, instruments measure the power rather
than the intensity of the light. The power is the energy per second, which is the
product of the intensity (photons per second) and the energy per photon.)
E=hf or hc/λ; c is the speed of light and h is 6.63 x 10-
34 E is the energy of one photon
![Page 32: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Third, the experimental data is used to calculate two quantities: the transmittance (T) and the absorbance (A).
![Page 33: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Transmittance If t ≤ 1 (less than or equal to) then the
amount of light transmitted through the sample is less than the blank.
In another situation, where both the sample and the blank transmit the same amount of light t = 1
In a sample that transmits no light at all then t = 0
Transmittance range 0 to 1
![Page 35: Spectrophotometer Updated 9/27/2006 I. Outline A. Spectrophotometry Defined B. Electromagnetic Scale C. Waves defined D. Human Eye E. Molecules and Light](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf921a28abf838c8ed28/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Percent Transmittance%T = t x 100%
When both the sample and the blank transmit the same amount of light . %T = 100%
When a sample transmits no light at all the %T = 0%

transmission- pass without interaction through the material.
Absorption- gives up some or all of its energy to the material. Light energy is converted to heat energy.
