Absorbance Measurement

Absorbance measurement is a technique used to determine how much a substance, like a liquid, absorbs light at a specific wavelength. A light beam passes through the sample, and a detector measures the amount of light that emerges. If the sample absorbs more light, less reaches the detector, resulting in higher absorbance readings. This information helps identify or quantify chemicals within the sample. The process is widely used in laboratories for analyzing solutions, ensuring precise, reliable detection of various substances based on their light absorption properties.
