Any radiant energy that is measured by the detector but outside the spectral region isolated by the monochromator of the instrument is referred to as ______.As this increases, Beer's law linearity will ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stray light is radiant energy that reaches the detector at wavelengths other than those isolated by the monochromator and passed through the sample.Since stray light reaches the detector without passing through the sample, there will be deviation from Beer's law, and linearity will decrease.
