Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Self-absorption occurs when the absorbing species in a sample interacts with other absorbing species in the same sample, leading to an overestimation of the absorbance and a deviation from the linear relationship described by Beer's Law. Therefore, at high analyte concentrations, the linear relationship breaks down and the law becomes nonlinear...
