INTRODUCTION
Spectrophotometry is a branch of spectrometry that deals with thequantitative study of electromagneticspectra. It determines the concentration of the unknown by using the ability of atomsto absorb radiant energy of specificwavelengths. In general,spectrophotometry is the study of theintensity of light, particularly the visible,near-ultraviolet, and near-infrared, that isemitted, transmitted, or absorbed.
