Answer:

The concentration of the analyte is determined by fitting the absorbance or transmittance obtained by spectrophotometric analysis of the unknown solution into the calibration curve.

Explanation:

In a calibration curve, the instrumental response (absorbance or transmittance), is plotted against the concentration of the analyte (the substance to be measured). The analyst is expected to prepare a series of standard solutions of the analyte within a range of solution concentrations close to the expected concentration of analyte in the unknown solution. The method of least squares may be used to determine the best fit of the line, thus, the concentration of the analyte. This method is only used for the determination of the concentration of coloured substances (spectrophotometry).

Red light has a wavelength of about 6.5 x 10-7m. Find its frequency. Show all work.
ozzi
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).

c = v x f

We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.

2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.
