  2. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    The attenuation coefficient of a volume, denoted μ, is defined as [6] =, where Φ e is the radiant flux;; z is the path length of the beam.; Note that for an attenuation coefficient which does not vary with z, this equation is solved along a line from =0 to as:

    The plot for vapor is a transformation of data Synthetic spectrum for gas mixture ' Pure H 2 O ' (296K, 1 atm) retrieved from Hitran on the Web Information System. [6] Liquid water absorption spectrum across a wide wavelength range [missing source] The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.

  4. Attenuation - Wikipedia

  5. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    An overview of absorption of electromagnetic radiation.This example shows the general principle using visible light as a specific example. A white light source—emitting light of multiple wavelengths—is focused on a sample (the pairs of complementary colors are indicated by the yellow dotted lines).

  6. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    A material's absorption spectrum is the fraction of incident radiation absorbed by the material over a range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The absorption spectrum is primarily determined [2] [3] [4] by the atomic and molecular composition of the material.

  7. Beer–Lambert law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer–Lambert_law

    The spectrum of pure bilirubin is known, so the molar attenuation coefficient ε is known. Measurements of decadic attenuation coefficient μ 10 are made at one wavelength λ that is nearly unique for bilirubin and at a second wavelength in order to correct for possible interferences.

  8. Mathematical descriptions of opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    absorption coefficient is essentially (but not quite always) synonymous with attenuation coefficient; see attenuation coefficient for details; molar absorption coefficient or molar extinction coefficient , also called molar absorptivity , is the attenuation coefficient divided by molarity (and usually multiplied by ln(10), i.e., decadic); see ...

  9. Absorptance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorptance

    Spectral hemispherical attenuation coefficient: μ ν μ λ: m −1: Spectral radiant flux absorbed and scattered by a volume per unit length, divided by that received by that volume. Directional attenuation coefficient: μ Ω: m −1: Radiance absorbed and scattered by a volume per unit length, divided by that received by that volume.
