Question

A researcher prepares a solution that is found to have an absorbance of 1.000 at a wavelength of 474nm. At this wavelength, what percent of the light is transmitted? If the solution is diluted to twice its original volume what will be the percent light transmitted at 474nm?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

At 474 nm, solution has Absorbance= 1.000

To Calculate:

i) percent of the light that is transmitted

ii) the percent light transmitted at 474 nm when the solution is diluted to twice its original volume.
