Lambda max (λ_max) in the context of the Beer-Lambert Law refers to the wavelength at which a substance absorbs light most strongly. This is the wavelength where the absorption spectrum of the analyte peaks. For accurate spectrophotometric measurements, it is important to choose a wavelength near λ_max to ensure maximum sensitivity and accuracy when applying the Beer-Lambert Law.
