Beer Lambert Law Assumptions
The radiation is perfectly monochromaticThere are no uncompensated losses due to scattering or reflectionThe radiation beam strikes the cuvette at normal incidenceThere are no molecular interactions between the absorber and other molecules in solutionThe temperature remains constant

The voltage generated by the detector is a function of the power of the incident radiation falling on it; Beer's law
