a) The UVVIS analysis showed possible interferences from other components in the tonic water. Was this also a problem on the fluorometer? Use the data to support your conclusions.

b) If your answer in part a was that there was no interference, explain why the components do not interfere in the same way they did on the UVVIS spectrometer.
