Absorbance is preferred to %transmittancein spectroscopy, because absorbance is necessary to create a linear relationship. ... The longer wavelength LED was used contrary to a shorter wavelength because this long low energy wave promoted greater absorbance in relation to shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

Absorbance is used more often than percent transmittance because this variable is linear with the concentration of the absorbing substance, whereas percent transmittance is exponential.
