A bathochromic shift is a movement of an absorption band to

  • A.longer wavelength
  • B.shorter wavelength
  • C.higher intensity at the same wavelength
  • D.lower intensity at the same wavelength

Answer: A

Correct answer: longer wavelength

A bathochromic shift, also called a red shift, moves a band to longer wavelength and therefore to lower energy. The opposite, to shorter wavelength, is hypsochromic or blue. The intensity changes have their own names: hyperchromic for an increase and hypochromic for a decrease. Extending conjugation is the commonest cause of a bathochromic shift.
