How a Simple UV-visible Spectrophotometer Works

Professor Davis describes a simple example of a double-beam UV-visible spectrophotometer and how it is used to determine the %transmittance of a sample, which can be mathematically converted into absorbance for convenience.

    Thanks for the kind words. It is so exciting to realize that I can reach students across the country and the world this way. I wish you the best of luck in school, but as a Penn State graduate, I think they will take my degree away if I publicly say 'Go Badgers'.... ;-)

    There are SO MANY Uv-Vis spectrophotometry videos on KZread. I'm been looking them up for an hour. This is the only one without errors and the only one that isn't mind-numbingly boring. Thanks. If I could do animations, I'd do my own. I do wish that you'd animate what is happening in the molecules and atoms though.

I am trying to measure water turbidity and am specifically looking for the scattering coefficient but can calculate this is if I can get the total beam attenuation and absorbance coefficients. Also, since I am looking at water as my medium, the light passing through it is just natural sunlight, what wavelength should I use for this? Thanks.
