Reminder
In an absorption band, radiation undergoes a decrease in intensity. Lambert's law relates absorbance (optical density) to the thickness d of the absorbing medium: lg I/I 0 = ad
and, in solution, a is proportional to the concentration c :
lg I/I 0 = ε λ cd
with c in mol/L, d in cm.
The molar extinction coefficient ε λ thus defined is characteristic of the sample at each wavelength. It is homogeneous to one surface area per mole, i.e. to the photon capture cross-section of the molecule.
