What's the difference between photometer and spectrophotometer?

Photometer


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument for measuring the intensity of light, or, more especially, for comparing the relative intensities of different lights, or their relative illuminating power.

Spectrophotometer


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument for measuring or comparing the intensites of the colors of the spectrum.
