A researcher measured the absorbance and percent transmittance of a blue dye at wavelengths between 425 and 700 nmnm. The measur
ements were made every 25 nmnm in a spectrophotometer. How should she plot her data to determine the wavelengths of maximum absorbance and percent transmittance?
values the transmittance or absorbance is plotted on the y axis, dependent variable and the wavelength on the x axis, independent variable.
Explanation:
The absorbance or transmittance measurements (T) determine the amount of light that passes through a material (I) and divide it by the amount of light that passes without the material (Io), to see the values the transmittance or absorbance is plotted on the y axis, dependent variable and the wavelength on the x axis, independent variable.
Free body diagrams are used to describe situations where several forces act on an object. On the other hand Vector diagrams are used to resolve (break down) a single force into two forces acting as right angles to eachother
