Examples

  • The absorbance of the solution was measured using a spectrophotometer to determine the amount of light that was being transmitted.
  • By analyzing the absorbance data, researchers were able to determine the concentration of the solution.
  • The absorbance spectrum showed a strong peak at a wavelength of 500 nanometers, indicating a high level of absorption at that wavelength.
  • To calculate the absorbance of the sample, the amount of light transmitted through the blank was divided by the amount of light transmitted through the sample.
  • The absorbance of the material was found to be highly dependent on the wavelength of the incident radiation.
