absorption coefficient [əb′sȯrp·shən ‚kō·ə′fish·ənt] Also known as absorption factor; absorption ratio; coefficient of absorption. (acoustics) The ratio of the sound energy absorbed by a surface of a medium or material to the sound energy incident on the surface. (physics) If a flux through a material decreases with distancexin proportion toe-ax, thenais called the absorption coefficient. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Absorbance is reported as absorption coefficient, which
is comparable with mass concentration per air volume. The comparison requires a
correction for differences in the molar absorption coefficient of
soluble and immobilized fluorescein. Like the MQ Garnet, it measures thicknesses,
refractive indices and absorption coefficients of transparent films from
0 nm to 30 microns thick. |
