Photometry vs. Spectrophotometry

Photometrynoun

(physics) The measurement of various aspects of light, especially its intensity.

Photometrynoun

(astronomy) The measurement of the intensity and spectrum of light from stars.

Photometrynoun

That branch of science which treats of the measurement of the intensity of light.

Photometrynoun

measurement of the proterties of light (especially luminous intensity)

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.
