Question

A colored solution gives the maximum absorbance value in the spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 533 nm. what are the absorbed and perceived colors of this solution?

Answer 1

The absorbed and perceived color of the solution at wavelength 533 nm will be GREEN AND YELLOW.
The spectrophotometer is an analyzing machine that uses the interaction between the radiation from the visible of part of the electromagnetic spectrum and the behavior of chemical species to identify compounds.
When all the wavelength in the visible light is present, we see the color of the light as white but when a wavelength is removed or absorbed, the white color will change to another color. This is the principle on which the spectrophotometer work. Thus, when the wavelength of 533 nm is removed, the color that will be perceive is green and yellow.<span />
