Questions related to UV-Visible Spectroscopy

How to incorporate the dilution factor in the final calculation after getting the calibration curve from UV-Vis?

Let's say I am testing for fluoride in a water sample. I diluted the sample 10 times by making 10ml of sample into 100ml. I take absorbance of this diluted sample using UV-Vis. So, my doubt is,...

Does a material stored over a long period of time can suffer or experience Quantum confinement effect?

I have stored a material over some time. When I checked its band gap via UV-Vis, it came out to be around 3.8-4 eV rather than 1.2-1.9 eV. Are there any chances that if a material is stored over...
