The application of Beer's law to attenuation of light in aquatic environments is more complex than in terrestrial environments.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In aquatic environments, multiple factors such as scattering, absorption, water turbidity, and organic matter can cause attenuation of light, making it more complex to apply Beer's law. In contrast, in terrestrial environments, the attenuation of light is mainly due to absorption by the atmosphere and can be more easily modeled using Beer's law.
