The Beer-Lambert law relates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which it is traveling. It states that the absorbance ([latex]A[/latex]) of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration ([latex]c[/latex]) of the absorbing species and the path length ([latex]l[/latex]) of the light through the solution. The relationship is expressed as [latex]A = \epsilon c l[/latex], where [latex]\epsilon[/latex] is the molar absorptivity.
