Q

What is beers law?

A

A direct linear relationship between the concentration of a solution and light absorption when monochromatic light is passed through a sample, the degree of color change is proportional to the solutions concentration, transmission of monochromatic light through a sample in the concentration of an analyte in the sample have an inverse exponential relationship
