About this document
Beer-Lambert Law Explained by Shanu Kumar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Beer-Lambert law relates the absorption of light to properties of the material through which light travels. It states that the transmission (or transmissivity) of light, T, through a substance has a logarithmic dependence on the product of the absorption coefficient, α, and path length, l. The absorption coefficient can be written as the molar absorptivity (extinction coefficient), ε, multiplied by the molar concentration, c, or the absorption cross section, σ, multiplied by the density, N
