Best Answer

Light is filtered to remove all but one specific wavelength, this wavelength is then passed through the sample. A sensor on the other side of the sample measures the intensity of the light that was not absorbed which is compared to the initial intensity of the light. This is an indirect approach to measuring the absorbance of the sample.
