Absorbance Relationship


According to Beer-Lambert law, absorbance is equal to two minus the logarithm base ten of the percentage transmittance.


 

Applications of Transmittance


  • Measuring concentrations of chemicals in solutions

  • Water clarity

  • Grade of syrup

  • Testing window tint films and glass clarity

  • Atmospheric haze
