Because when we read absorbance, it's the amount of light absorbed by the bacteria itself. Absorbance is directly related to the amount of bacteria. More absorbance = more bacteria.

Why don't you plot transmittance vs wavelength?

Sometimes you do in fact. In IR spectroscopy, the transmittance is commonly plotted instead of absorbance.However, in most types of spectroscopy, the absorbance is plotted instead. This is due to Beer's Law, which states that the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the sample, the absorptivity of the sample, and the path length (in contrast, the transmittance is exponentially related to those things). Because of the much simpler direct proportionality, absorbance is preferred in many cases.


How does the Cursed Ring work in Final Fantasy 4 DS?

The Cursed Ring changes your armour resistance into absorbance, at the cost of lowering your stats. So if your armour had fire resistance, when you wear the Cursed Ring, it turns into fire absorbance, and fire attacks will heal instead.

Is it worth replacing the transmission?

Yes, it is worth replacing the transmission instead of getting a new car. You will have to pay thousands for a new car, but your transmission may only be $2,000.


What does manual transmission mean?

Manual transmission is when you use the shift stick to shift to different gears in a car instead of driving without shifting gears,which is auto transmission.
