Q
  • measures light blocked by particles/ reduced by a particle in the solution
  • amount of light reduced is measured at 180’
  • dependent on the size of particle and wavelength
  • detector in line with the incident light thus, decrease in transmission
  • the higher the concentration, the lower the transmittance (greater the amount of light blocked)
