Beer's law

A quantitative treatment of the absorption of monochromatic light by a solution. The equation A=log(I0/I) defines A (the absorbance, which is proportional to the concentration of the chromophore), I0 (the intensity of the incident light) and I (the intensity of light having passed through 1cm of the solution). T, the transmission, is defined as A=-logT.
