Which source is used below about 320 nanometres?

  • A.A globar of silicon carbide
  • B.A mercury vapour lamp
  • C.A deuterium lamp
  • D.A tungsten filament lamp

Answer: C

A deuterium discharge gives a useful continuum through the ultraviolet where tungsten's output has collapsed. A globar is an infrared source, and a mercury lamp gives lines rather than a continuum, which suits wavelength calibration rather than absorption measurement. That a spectrophotometer needs a continuum, not lines, is what rules out several otherwise bright sources.
