Q1:

Why is it generally preferable to use absorbance as a measure of absorption rather than % transmittance?

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

ANS:C - Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not
