Lambert law

Lam·bert law

(lam'bert),

1. each layer of equal thickness absorbs an equal fraction of the light that traverses it. Compare: Beer-Lambert law.

2. the illumination of a surface on which the light falls normally from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.

[Johann Heinrich Lambert]

In the second phase, the resulted colored solution is photometrically analyzed at a wavelength corresponding to followed species with the aim of establishing the optical absorbance of the solution and absorbance value is correlated with concentration through the Beer Lambert Law (Matter, 1995, Skoog, 1996, Robinson, 2005).
