Which equation correctly expresses the quantitative relationship among absorbance AA, molar absorptivity ε\varepsilon, path length bb, and concentration cc for a monochromatic measurement of a solution? (a) A=εbcA = \dfrac{\varepsilon}{b c} (b) A=εbcA = \varepsilon b c (c) A=2.303 εbcA = 2.303\,\varepsilon b c (d) A=εbcA = \sqrt{\varepsilon b c}
