The individual fibers are separated by membranes, but depolarization spreads radially (syncytium) because of the presence of gap junctions.

Algebraic transformation of the exponential correlation into an expression based on the decadic logarithm yields the law of Beer–Lambert:

where [d] = 1cm, [c] = 1moldm-3, and [e] = 1dm3mol-1 cm1. e is the molar absorption   coefficient.

where [d] = 1cm, [c] = 1moldm-3, and [e] = 1dm3mol-1 cm1. e is the molar absorption coefficient.

Molecular events might lead to deviations from the Beer–Lambert law. For instance, chromophores might dimerise at high concentrations and, as a result, might possess different spectroscopic parameters.
