  2. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    Just as the usual attenuation coefficient measures the number of e-fold reductions that occur over a unit length of material, this coefficient measures how many 10-fold reductions occur: a decadic coefficient of 1 m −1 means 1 m of material reduces the radiation once by a factor of 10.

  3. Mass attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_attenuation_coefficient

    Mass attenuation coefficients of selected elements for X-ray photons with energies up to 250 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient, or mass narrow beam attenuation coefficient of a material is the attenuation coefficient normalized by the density of the material; that is, the attenuation per unit mass (rather than per unit of distance).

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. Optical depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_depth

    Optical depth of a material is also related to its attenuation coefficient by: = (), where l is the thickness of that material through which the light travels; α(z) is the attenuation coefficient or Napierian attenuation coefficient of that material at z,

  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.
