Interpretation:
The percent transmittance and absorbance for the given sample are to be calculated from the given data.
Concept introduction:
UV–vis spectroscopy uses light from the UV and visible regions of the spectrum. These wavelengths range from
At each wavelength, the intensity of light that reaches the detector (
The percent transmittance is converted to the corresponding absorbance by using the following equation:

Considering that concentration and the size of sample container are the same, a sample with a higher molar absorptivity will have a higher TRANSMITTANCE than a sample with the lower E (molar absorptivity). 2. Considering that concentration and the size of sample container are the same, a sample with a higher molar absorptivity will have a higher ABSORBANCE than a sample with the lower E (molar absorptivity). 3. The higher the concentration of a sample is the higher the transmittance will be. 4. Spectrophotometry is the study of how light interacts with matter 5.
