  2. Beer–Lambert law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeerLambert_law

    The extinction law's primary application is in chemical analysis, where it underlies the BeerLambert law, commonly called Beer's law. Beer's law states that a beam of visible light passing through a chemical solution of fixed geometry experiences absorption proportional to the solute concentration .

  3. Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_absorption_spectroscopy

    The technique makes use of the atomic absorption spectrum of a sample in order to assess the concentration of specific analytes within it. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between the measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the BeerLambert law.

  4. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    This may be related to other properties of the object through the BeerLambert law. Precise measurements of the absorbance at many wavelengths allow the identification of a substance via absorption spectroscopy, where a sample is illuminated from one side, and the intensity of the light that exits from the sample in every direction is measured.

  5. List of eponymous laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymous_laws

    BeerLambert law: in optics, the empirical relationship of the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which the light is traveling. Independently discovered (in various forms) by Pierre Bouguer in 1729, Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1760 and August Beer in 1852.

  6. Atomic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spectroscopy

    The relationship between the concentration of atoms, the distance the light travels through the collection of atoms, and the portion of the light absorbed is given by the BeerLambert law. In atomic emission spectroscopy , the intensity of the emitted light is directly proportional to the concentration of atoms.

  7. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    An absorption spectrum can be quantitatively related to the amount of material present using the BeerLambert law. Determining the absolute concentration of a compound requires knowledge of the compound's absorption coefficient. The absorption coefficient for some compounds is available from reference sources, and it can also be determined by ...

  8. Penetration depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_depth

    According to BeerLambert law, the intensity of an electromagnetic wave inside a material falls off exponentially from the surface as =If denotes the penetration depth, we have

  9. Colorimeter (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorimeter_(chemistry)

    A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry that measures the absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution. [1] [2] It is commonly used to determine the concentration of a known solute in a given solution by the application of the BeerLambert law, which states that the concentration of a solute is proportional to the absorbance.
