Hyperchromic Shift-
Intensity of absorption maxima increases (Emax Increases)
Hypochromic Shift-
Intensity of absorption maxima decreases(Emax decreases)
Introduction
Also known as Electronic Spectroscopy & Colorimetric
Study of Electronic Transition in Molecule
UV spectroscopy is concerned with the study of absorption of UV
radiation
❖ Range- UV spectroscopy-200-400 nm
❖ UV Visible spectroscopy-400-800 nm [NIPER JEE-2006,7]
In UV visible spectroscopy only the valence electrons absorb the
energy thereby the molecule undergoes transition from Ground state to
Excited state
The distinct type of electrons are involved in organic molecules these
are as follows Sigma (σ), pi (π) and n electrons
Theory
Any molecule has either n, π, σ or combination of these electrons
absorbing the characteristic radiation and undergoes transition from
Ground state to Higher Energy excited state.
Energy value order for transition- σ-σ* > η-σ* > π-π* > η-π*
1. σ-σ*- Required highest amount of energy
2. η-σ*- Lesser Energy than σ-σ*
3. π-π*- Less Energy Required (B-Bands, K-Bands), (Allowed Transition)
4. η-π*- Transition required Lowest Energy (R-Band), (Forbidden Transition)

orbital (σ*, π*)
Laws
Beer's Lambert's Laws
When a beam of Monochromatic radiation is passed through the
Absorption medium the decrease in the intensity of radiation, When
increases the Concentration(c) or Thickness (Path length) (l) of the
Solution.

Instrumentation
Instrumentation
Source of Light Trick- HDTMX
1.Hydrogen Deuterium (H2-D2) lamp (200-375 nm)
2.Tungsten Filament Lamp (375-800 nm) Commonly used, Similar to house bulb
3.Xenon arc lamp (160 to 2,000 nm)
4.Mercury arc lamp (250-350 nm)
Monochromator- It convert Polychromatic light into Monochromatic light
Entrance Slit-To get narrow source
Collimating lens- The radiation emitted by source is collimated (parallel) by lenses
Prism- A dispersive prism is used to break the radiation into its Constituent
radiation
Gratings- Diffracts light into several beams contain 1200-1400 grooves/nm
Refracting lens and Exit Slit- To fall on Sample cell
Instrumentation
Sample Container- Also k/a Cuvette is made up of Quartz and Some times
glass
Quartz is fused silica (SiO2); Consisting of Silica in amorphous (non
crystalline) form
Quartz has high working and melting temperatures
Detectors Trick- PMT PET Barrier
Device which convert light energy into electrical signals
1.Photomultiplier tube (Contain dynodes, Commonly used in UV) [MP DI-17,
BIHAR DI-23]
2.Barrier layer cell / Photovoltaic cell [NIPER JEE-2016]
3.Phototubes / Photo emissive tube
4.Photodiode array
5.Charge coupled device
Solvent and Solvent Effect
Solvents
Solvent should be Transparent for UV-Visible range (Not absorb UV
Visible Radiations)
Solvent should be free from any Particles
Always prepare a diluted sample Solution.
Not have any double bond in structure / UV Visible inactive
95% ethanol is most commonly used solvents [204 nm]
Eg:- Water[191 nm], Methanol[203 nm], Ethanol[204 nm]
