Molar decadic absorption coefficient

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007468",
  "term": "Molar decadic absorption coefficient",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of how strongly a chemical species absorbs light at a particular wavelength, normalized by its molar concentration and the path length of the light through the sample. This coefficient is used in the Beer-Lambert law for quantitative analysis. It is expressed in L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹.",
