Question

If the % transmittance greater than 90%, then which of the following is true

   

The solution is highly concentrated.

   

The measured absorbance is very low, and most likely unreliable

   

The % photons emitted is very low

   

The measured absorbance is very high, and most likely unreliable.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The relationship between transmittance and absorbance is logarithmic. If a solution has higher transmittance then absorbance of the solution is low. If a solution has low transmittance then the absorbance of the solution of high. Transmittance represents the value of transmitted light and absorbance represents the value of absorbed light by the solution.
