Colorimetry vs. Spectrophotometry

Colorimetrynoun

The science of measuring colours and assigning them numeric values.

Colorimetrynoun

(analytical chemistry) Analysis involving the quantitative measurement of colour.

Colorimetrynoun

The quantitative determination of the depth of color of a substance.

Colorimetrynoun

A method of quantitative chemical analysis based upon the comparison of the depth of color of a solution with that of a standard liquid.

Colorimetrynoun

quantitative chemical analysis by color using a colorimeter

Colorimetry

Colorimetry is It is similar to spectrophotometry, but is distinguished by its interest in reducing spectra to the physical correlates of color perception, most often the CIE 1931 XYZ color space tristimulus values and related quantities.

Spectrophotometrynoun

the quantitative analysis of electromagnetic spectra by use of a spectrophotometer; especially in order to determine the structure or quantity of a substance

Spectrophotometrynoun

The art of comparing, photometrically, the brightness of two spectra, wave length by wave length; the use of the spectrophotometer.

Spectrophotometrynoun

the art or process of measuring the degree of absorption of light at different wavelengths by a chemical substance, by means of a spectrometer or spectrophotometer. It is a technique for chemical analysis.

Spectrophotometry

Spectrophotometry is a branch of electromagnetic spectroscopy concerned with the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength. Spectrophotometry uses photometers, known as spectrophotometers, that can measure the intensity of a light beam at different wavelengths.
