The modified Beer-Lambert law is central to the operation of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). It describes the amount of light passing through the head. To get to an understanding of this law, however, we will build up from simpler laws and discoveries.
Light is made up of photons. Photons are very special because they act in two very different ways at the same time - as a particle and as a wave. Water can also be thought of as being like this. A drop of rain and a ripple in a lake are made of the same thing - water. Photons of light are little packets of energy smaller than atoms and, since they are waves, that must mean they have a wavelength (which is really just the length of the wave from peak to peak). The light that we see has very small wavelengths. Violet photons of light have the shortest wavelength - only 380 nanometres long (380 millionths of a metre) and red photons of light have the longest wavelength - but are still only 750 nanometres long.
As photons of light move through space, they will come in contact with atoms. If a photon comes in contact with an atom, one of two things will happen: Either the photon will collidewith the atom and bounce off it or the atom will absorb the photon. A photon can only be absorbed by an atom is the photon has the right wavelength.

What is metabolic analog?
Structurally modified metabolite that prevents the action of the normal metabolite
What is the rms voltage for 144 volts modified sine wave?
if that 144 is the peak voltage if its a sine wave the rms voltage is that voltage divided by sqrt(2) if not a sine wave (modified) you must find the area under the curve by integrating a cycle of that wave shape (root mean squared)
The direction of statically induced emf can be found by which law?
Lenz's Law
What are the Limitations elements of ohm's law?
Ohms law does not consider inductance

Is a scientific law constantly modified?
A scientific law may be constantly tested but, as if the outcomes are consistent with the predictions of the law, the law is not modified.
