State and Explain the Lambert's law.

In 1760 Lambert has given the statement which is known as Lamberts Law. It states that “Equal fraction of Incident Light is absorbed by equal thickness of absorbing medium.” Or “When monochromatic light is incident on a medium the rate of decrease of intensity of light with thickness of the medium is proportional to the intensity of light incident on it.”

If di is the decrease in intensity of light or absorbed intensity of light by the thickness dl and I is the intensity of light incident on it, then, didlI The negative sign is for decrease in intensity of incident light. didl=KI OR diI=Kdl On integrating the equation between limits when l=0 then I=I0 and when l=l then I=It I0ItdiI=0lKdl I0ItdiI=K0ldl lnItI0=Kl lnI0It=Kl 2.303logI0It=Kl Where Io is the intensity of incident radiation and It is intensity of transmitted radiation. Equation is known as Lamberts Absorption Equation.
