Beer's Law
Beer-Lambert's law is the relationship between absorbance, concentration, and path length.
$A = εbc$
Variables
- $A =$ absorbance
- $ε =$ molar absorptivity (M^-1cm^-1)
- $b =$ path length (cm)
- $c =$ concentration (M)
Intuition
- The higher the concentration, the higher the absorbance.
- The longer the path length, the higher the absorbance.
