Chapter 7, Problem 52E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Existence of colors outside the human perception or mind is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Visible light is a very small fraction of
Light spectrum is the visible spectrum. The wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that are visible to human eyes range from
Absorption spectroscopy is a technique of measurement of absorption of radiation. The color of any substance depends on the color of the light absorbed or reflected by the molecules or atoms that compose the substance.

please can you please im begging can you please create graphs with Excel (or a similar program). Plot absorbance (v-axis) vs. A (×- axis) for the absorbance curve determined in part 2. Connect the points with a smooth curve. Plot absorbance (y-axis) vs. concentration (x-axis) for the Beer's Law data from part 3. Draw a best-fit line or use a program such as Excel and do a least-squares fit to determine the best-fit line through the points.
please answer super super fast please please need it now its urgent just creat the graphs
Which mathematical relationship is most useful to relate concentration to the amount of light passing through the solution? (% Transmission, or Absorbance), Why?
The absorbance of various wavelengths of light by a solution were measured. How does absorbance relate to the intensity of light that is transmitted through the solution and measured by the detector?
