What is Transmittance?

Transmittance describes how much light passes through a sample unchanged. In other words, it is light that is not absorbed, scattered, or reflected. In most cases, the scattered and/or reflected light is miniscule and not significant. Transmittance is usually measured...

What is Absorption Spectroscopy?

The principle of absorption spectroscopy is to measure how much light is absorbed by the sample. As seen in the absorbance entry, this can be accomplished by measuring the intensity of the light before and after the sample. The Beer-Lambert law describes how the...
