A presentation was submitted on UV spectrophotometers. Key topics included spectroscopy, UV spectrophotometry, electronic transitions, and the Beer-Lambert law. A spectrophotometer measures the intensity of light as a function of wavelength. It works based on the Beer-Lambert law, where the intensity of light passing through a dilute solution is proportional to the concentration and path length. UV spectrophotometry allows detection of functional groups, aromatic compounds, and conjugate compounds, and can determine reaction speeds.
