Why must the voltage supplied to a tungsten lamp be very stable?

Because if it wasn't, the lamp would bum out
Because the lamp will only function at a specific voltage
Because amount of energy the lamp emits is proportional to the fourth power of the operating voltage
All of these

Why is it generally preferable to use absorbance as a measure of absorption rather than % transmittance?

None of these
Because %T cannot be measured as accurately as absorbance
Because absorbance is proportional to the concentration of the analyte, whereas %T is not
Because %T is dependant on the power of the incident radiation
