A=epsilon bc

What you provide

What you provide

  • Molar absorptivity expressed in L/(mol cm), using the same scenario as the other inputs
  • Optical path length expressed in cm, using the same scenario as the other inputs
  • Absorbing concentration expressed in mol/L, using the same scenario as the other inputs

What you receive

What you receive

  • Absorbance from the stated equation
  • A symbolic formula plus substituted working with your values
  • Visible assumptions, field guidance, and an authoritative learning reference

Use boundary

Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.

The sample follows linear Beer-Lambert behavior with correct blanking, wavelength, units, and negligible scattering.

Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
