Beer's Law, also known as the Beer-Lambert law, relates the attenuation, or reduction, of light to the properties of the material it passes through. It's mainly related to the BGK model, which is a mathematical model that helps describe collisions of particles.

The modified Beer-Lambert law is central to the operation of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). It describes the amount of light passing through the head. To get to an understanding of this law, however, we will build up from simpler laws and discoveries.
Light is made up of photons. Photons are very special because they act in two very different ways at the same time - as a particle and as a wave. Water can also be thought of as being like this. A drop of rain and a ripple in a lake are made of the same thing - water. Photons of light are little packets of energy smaller than atoms and, since they are waves, that must mean they have a wavelength (which is really just the length of the wave from peak to peak). The light that we see has very small wavelengths. Violet photons of light have the shortest wavelength - only 380 nanometres long (380 millionths of a metre) and red photons of light have the longest wavelength - but are still only 750 nanometres long.
As photons of light move through space, they will come in contact with atoms. If a photon comes in contact with an atom, one of two things will happen: Either the photon will collidewith the atom and bounce off it or the atom will absorb the photon. A photon can only be absorbed by an atom is the photon has the right wavelength.

What is the relation of Beers Lambert's law in UV Visible spectrometer?
The Beer-Lambert law Absorbance = (extinction coefficent)(pathlength of light)(concentration) allows you to measure the absorbance of sample in a UV spec, and change the rate from absorbance units / time to change in concentration / time. the pathlength of light being the width of the cuvette and the extinctin coefficent being specific to the product molecule.
Is there any difference between beer Lambert's law and Lambert beer's law?
Beer's law says that absorbance of a molecule or solution is:A = a*b*cwhere A is the absorbance, "a" is the absorptivity (in units of per molar per cm, M-1 cm-1), "b" is the path length (in units of centimeters, cm), and "c" is the concentration (in units of molar, M). The absorptivity, is also commonly known as epsilon.That means that the absorbance is linearly proportional to the thickness of the sample, the concentration of the absorbing medium, and the absorptivity, which is a measure of a given molecule's ability of absorb light.See the Web Links for more information.
What are the limitations of Beer's Lamberts law?
The linearity of the Beer-Lambert law is limited by chemical and instrumental factors. Causes of nonlinearity include:deviations in absorptivity coefficients at high concentrations (>0.01M) due to electrostatic interactions between molecules in close proximityscattering of light due to particulates in the samplefluorescence or phosphorescence of the samplechanges in refractive index at high analyte concentrationshifts in chemical equilibrium as a function of concentrationnon-monochromatic radiation, deviations can be minimized by using a relatively flat part of the absorption spectrum such as the maximum of an absorption bandstray light
