absorbance
Absorbance, in the context of spectroscopy, is a measure of the quantity of light absorbed by a substance. It is a logarithmic ratio, often calculated as the logarithm of the incident light intensity divided by the transmitted light intensity. The absorbance of a substance can indicate its concentration within a solution, given that the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration according to Beer-Lambert law.
