Best Answer

The lower transmittance of film would indicate a higher Optical Density (OD), or absorption, because as concentration increases, % transmittance will decrease. This is because of Beer's Law (A = 2.00 -[log (%T)]). As you can see from the equation, transmittance is directly proportional to the outcome of absorption. High %T = Lower Absorption.
Low %T = Higher Absorption.

What reasons can you give for the difference in the percentage of transmittance between the live chlorplats that were incubated in the light and those that were kept in the dark?

The percent transmittance grew to steadily higher numbers as the experiment progressed because the light reaction was able to occur. However, the dark cuvettes had stable levels of transmittance because light is necessary to excite electrons, which, in turn, reduces the DPIP.


What is the importance of the calorific value of a fuel?

The higher the calorific value of a fuel, the higher its combustion rate is, which is important knowledge to know. A low calorific value indicates more water vapor absorption.

What does it mean if one found negative absorption in uv-vis absorption graph?

That means your blank has a higher absorption at that particular wavelength than the sample. This really shouldn't happen assuming your blank is water.

What is nonlinear absorption?

Nonlinear absorption is the kind of absorption that occurs when materials are illuminated by a strong laser source. It's name is nonlinear because this type of absorption is proportional to square of intensity and higher orders. Remember Beer's law. Briefly dI/dz=-alfa*I-beta*I2-gamma*I3.. beta and gamma are the nonlinear absorption terms!


What is the difference between an absorption and an emission spectrum?

Absorption spectrum is a gap in the overall spectrum. It happen when light makes an electron jump to a higher orbital and light energy is absorbed. Emission spectrum is light emitted at particular wavelengths (where the absorption spectrum gaps are). It happens when an electron falls from a higher orbital and emits light energy in doing so.
