Absorbance vs. Transmittance
Absorbance and transmittance are two ways to express how much light a sample absorbs, linked by a simple logarithmic relationship.

Stray light is out-of-band radiation reaching the detector and is the dominant source of error at high absorbance in UV-Vis spectrophotometers.
Raman scattering produces wavelength-shifted photons that reveal molecular bond vibrations, providing a chemical fingerprint without sample preparation.
NIR absorption arises from overtones and combination bands of molecular vibrations, enabling non-destructive chemical analysis through intact packaging and vessels.
Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks of a light wave. It determines a photon’s energy and underpins every spectroscopic measurement.
The Beer–Lambert law links absorbance to concentration, making quantitative analysis possible. Here is what it says and where it holds.
Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy measures how much light a sample absorbs at each wavelength, revealing concentration, purity, and molecular information.
