Presentation and development of a physics experiment devised for didactic learning: The lambert-beer-bouguer law

The Lambert-Beer-Bouguer law refers to the decay of the intensity of a radiation travelling through a dissipative medium. Due to the simple phenomenology and to the easiness of the realization of an experimental apparatus for its verification and measure, such law represents, from a didactic point of view, a powerful tool to illustrate the basic features of the exponential decay behaviour to undergraduate students. This paper describes how such purpose can be reached by employing simple equipment and very accessible formalism.
