- Question
Why is it generally preferable to use absorbance as a measure of absorption rather than % transmittance?
Options- A. Because %T cannot be measured as accurately as absorbance
- B. Because %T is dependant on the power of the incident radiation
- C. Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not
- D. none of the above
- Correct Answer
- Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not
