A student fails to insert the cuvette into the colorimeter or spectrophotometer correctly. What effect will this have on the measured absorbance

It would cause scattering of light and absorbance measurement is going to be reported as too large

Explanation:

The curvette was not inserted correctly into the spectrometer. The effect that this would have on measured absorbance is that it would cause scattering of light.

Failing to line the curvette correctly would cause light to scatter, the light reaching the photodetector would be less. This less light would then be interpreted as more light being absorbed. This would end up making the absorbance value to be read as too large.

i think it's letter a.
