All the following statements are TRUE about Beer-Lambert law, except: The percent transmission decreases exponentially with the concentration. A compound with a higher molar absorptivity will resulted with a higher absorbance during the measurement. The absorbance does not change with the cell or sample’s path length. The analyte concentration quantified by Beer-Lambert law assumes monochromatic light interacted with the analyte.
