• A light source can be a lamp, laser, or even a light bulb. A monochromator (“one color”) is used to select a particular wavelength. This is typically a grating, but can be a prism or filter. The light then passes through the sample, containing the analyte. Afterwards, the light is detected.

UV bands are much broader than the photonic transition event. This is because vibration levels are superimposed on UV.
