What are the differences between spectrometry and spectrophotometry and how are they used in analytical chemistry?

Spectrometry and spectrophotometry are both techniques used in analytical chemistry to measure the interaction of light with matter. Spectrometry involves measuring the intensity of light at different wavelengths to identify and quantify substances in a sample. Spectrophotometry, on the other hand, specifically measures the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by a sample at a particular wavelength, providing information about the concentration of a substance in the sample. Both techniques are valuable in identifying and quantifying substances in a sample, with spectrophotometry being more focused on measuring the concentration of a specific substance.
