As the Beer-Lamberts Law is to be used in the calculation process, we shall first define it before
proceeding forward. It states that the absorbance level of a sample is proportional to the
concentration of the absorbing substance and to the path length.
Where

absorbance
molar absorptivity coefficient at a particular wavelength
path length
concentration of light absorbing species in the sample
