A UV spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the absorbance or transmittance of ultraviolet (UV) light by a sample. It works by passing UV light through a sample and measuring the amount of light absorbed by the sample at different wavelengths, typically in the range of 200 to 400 nanometers (nm). The device helps determine the concentration of substances in a solution, as many compounds absorb UV light at specific wavelengths.
In a typical UV spectrophotometer:

Using a UV spectrophotometer involves measuring the absorbance or transmittance of a sample at specific wavelengths in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light spectrum. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a UV spectrophotometer:
