A photometer with a linear response to radiation gave a reading of 690 mV with a blank in the light path and 169 mV when the blank was replaced by an absorbing solution. Calculate *(a) the transmittance and absorbance of the absorbing solution. (b) the expected transmittance if the concentration of absorber is one half that of the original solution. *(c) the transmittance to be expected if the light path through the original solution is doubled.
