Beer’s Law states that absorbance of a sample (Abs) depends on the molar concentration (c), light path length in centimeters (l), and molar extinction coefficient (ε) for the dissolved substance at the specified wavelength (λ) as follows:
Absorbance = ε c l
Molar extinction coefficient (also known as molar absorptivity or attenuation coefficient) is a measure of how strongly a substance
