Beer’s Law
LIGHT
The amount of light absorbed depends on many factors, including:
thickness of sample
and type of material
COLOR ,
When shining
through a sample
some of the light
is absorbed
![Page 3: Light Through Milk Fat?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032206/5681306d550346895d964dd0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
mostly the reds!
What if we replace the red
light taken from the sun?
What color does seawater absorb?

So absorption of light is…
…described by Beer’s Law
…transfer of energy to the medium through which it travels
Energy enters as light, but less emerges as it is converted to heat

Scattered light on a surface:
Scattered light through a solution:
What about scattered light?
bounces back inall directions.
bounces inall directions…
…so some light makes it through!(you can see it)

Blue Skiescome from scattering BLUE light

Blue light is scattered the most by the atmosphere
![Page 10: Light Through Milk Fat?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032206/5681306d550346895d964dd0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Since blue is scattered most in the atmosphere, sunsets are anything but blue, appearing reddish-orange.

Sunsets are anything but blue

Instead of air in the atmosphere, let’s look at milk fat in
water

0.2 mm diameter FOV
Homogenized milk contains many small globules of fat
Each mL of 2% milk contains about 10 million globules
…this “population density” is about 1010 globules/L
Visible light is scattered nicely by these globules
Why milk?

How does the glob population relate to the amount of light scattering?
Higher density of particles leads to more scattering, and less light transmitted
through the solution...
low transmissionmeans
high concentration

So if we shine a laser through a tank with some milk fat…
…and measure the light that makes it through…
…we can determine the concentration of fat globules!
