How to draw a normalized UV-Visible absorption spectrum?

10 October 2016 1 8K Report

I need to put several UV-Visible spectra of different compounds on the same figure and I want them to have the same intensity.

I saw in publications that it's called normalized spectra or normalized data but I don't know how to do this.

Marc Pissavini

one way to normalize them is to use the specific absorbance

transforme all the absorbance spectra in

Absorbance at 1 gramme per liter for a path-length of 1 cm (using Beer Lamber law)
