The Absorbance of an object quantifies how much light is absorbed by it. This may be related to other properties of the object through the Beer-Lambert Law . For most substances, the amount of absorption varies with the Wavelength of the light, leading to the appearance of Colour in Pigment s that absorb some wavelengths but not others. For example, an object that absorbs Blue , Green and Yellow light will appear Red when viewed under white light. More precise measurements at many wavelengths allow the identification of a substance via Absorption Spectroscopy . EARTH SURFACE NOTES |
