Assertion (A): Absorbance rather than transmittance is the additive quantity in a transparent mixture.
Reason (R): Transmittances multiply, and the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the mathematics, and this is why absorbance is used. It converts a multiplicative problem into an additive one. Logarithms turn products into sums. Absorbance is the additive quantity.
