Why cant solid state measurements of UV-visible spectra or FT IR spectra be used quantitatively but solution measurements can?

UV-visible spectra or FT IR spectra can be used quantitatively in solution measurements with the help of Beer-Lambert law.

Beer-Lambert law which relates absorbance to concentration using the path length of the measurement and an extinction coefficient as follows

          A = ε c l

Where A = absorbance, ε = molar extinction coefficient, c = concentration (in the units corresponding to ε) and l = light path length

This Beer-Lambert law is most common used in a quantitative way to determine concentrations of an absorbing species in solution.
