Question

a student analyzes a solution for color and obtains the following graph of absorbance vs. wavelength. what is the wavelength of maximum absorbance (λmax) for this sample? scan of dye #22 select one: 800 nm 0.8 500 nm

Explanation:

Step1: Locate peak on graph

Find the highest - point on the absorbance - wavelength graph.

Step2: Read x - value

Read the wavelength (x - axis value) at the peak. The peak occurs at a wavelength of 500 nm.

Answer:

500 nm
