The spectrophotometer really measures the percent of light that is transmitted through the solution. The instrument then converts %T (transmittance) into absorbance by using the equation you determined in the prelab section. If the absorbance is 0.85, what is the percent light transmitted through the color sample at this collected wavelength?

    Using the equation : Abs=-log (T)

    Converting that to a percent,

    We get,

    0.85 = - log (T)

    once you find T, multiply by 100%

    T = 2.33 %
