Variables Used
Intensity of Transmitted Light - (Measured in Candela) - Intensity of Transmitted Light varies as the square of the cosine of the angle between the two planes of transmission.
Intensity of Light Entering the Material - (Measured in Candela) - Intensity of Light Entering the Material is related to the energy of the EM wave (power per unit area). So when light passes through an interface some of it is reflected and some refracted.
Absorption per Concentration Coefficient - Absorption per Concentration Coefficient is essentially the cross-sectional area per unit volume of medium.
Concentration of Absorption Material - Concentration of Absorption Material is Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the substance.
Path Length - (Measured in Meter) - Path Length of average number of steps along the shortest paths for all possible pairs of network nodes.

Beer-Lambert Law Formula

It = Io*exp(-β*c*x)

Why does Beer-Lambert law fails at higher concentrations?

Beer-Lambert law fails at higher concentrations because the linearity of the law is limited to chemical and instrumental factors. When the solution has higher concentrations, the proximity between the molecules of the solution is so close that there are deviations in the absorptivity. Also, when the concentration is high, the refractive index changes.
