Isobestic Point
In spectroscopy, an isosbestic point is a specific wavelength at which two chemical species have the same molar absorptivity (ε) or, more generally, are linearly related. The word derives from two Greek words: "isos", meaning "equal", and "sbestos", meaning "extinguishable".

Famous quotes containing the word point:
“... many American Jews have a morbid tendency to exaggerate their handicaps and difficulties. ... There is no doubt that the Jew ... has to be twice as good as the average non- Jew to succeed in many a field of endeavor. But to dwell upon these injustices to the point of self-pity is to weaken the personality unnecessarily. Every human being has handicaps of one sort or another. The brave individual accepts them and by accepting conquers them.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
