Lambert's law (medicine)


Lambert's law


Each layer of equal thickness absorbs an equal fraction of the light that traverses it; Cf.: Beer-Lambert law.

The illumination of a surface on which the light falls normally from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
