Problem

A dye solution shows the following absorbance values in a

1.00\,\text{cm}

cuvette at the same concentration:

400\,\text{nm}

(0.20),

450\,\text{nm}

(0.34),

500\,\text{nm}

(0.50), and

550\,\text{nm}

(0.48). Identify the wavelength you would choose to construct a calibration curve for this dye and briefly justify your choice.
