method to calculate how much light is absorbed by a chemical substance. This is done by measuring the intensity of light as it passes through a sample solution. The principle of this method is that a compound absorbs or transmits light over a certain wavelength from which the measurement can be used to calculate the concentration of a known chemical substance. A spectrophotometer is an instrument that would measure the amount of light a sample would absorb. A beam of light consists of a stream of photons
