Chapter 15, Problem 15.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The piece among, thin red glass and thick red glass that has greater absorbance is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The term absorbance is defined as the logarithm of intensity of the incident radiation, $I_{\text{ο}}$ and the intensity of light coming out of the sample, $I$. The absorbance is denoted by the symbol $A$. The expression for the absorbance is given by the formula shown below.

$A=\log \left(I_{\text{ο}}/I\right)$
