Interpretation:
U.V radiation is energetic enough to cause transitions in the energies of which kind of electrons in an atom has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Absorption spectrum: This is measurement of the amount of (UV-VIS) light absorbed by a liquid sample of a given path length. Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of matter in the sample.
The energy E of
Therefore,
