The true absorbance of a sample is 1.000, but the monochromator passes 1.0% stray light
Chapter 19, Problem 19-B(choose chapter or problem)
The true absorbance of a sample is 1.000, but the monochromator passes 1.0% stray light. Add the light coming through the sample to the stray light to find the apparent transmittance of the sample. Convert this answer back into absorbance and find the relative error in the calculated concentration of the sample.
