单词 absorption coefficient
释义
absorption coefficient

Physics
  • 1. (in physics) See Lambert’s laws.

    2. (in chemistry) The volume of a given gas, measured at standard temperature and pressure, that will dissolve in unit volume of a given liquid.


Astronomy
  • A measure of the decrease in intensity of radiation as it passes through a medium. It is the reciprocal of the distance required to reduce the radiation to 1/e of its original value (where e is a constant equal to 2.718).


Chemistry
  • 1. (in spectroscopy) The molar absorption coefficient (symbol ϵ‎) is a quantity that characterizes the absorption of light (or any other type of electromagnetic radiation) as it passes through a sample of the absorbing material. It has the dimensions of 1/(concentration ×‎ length). ϵ‎ is dependent on the frequency of the incident light; its highest value occurs where the absorption is most intense. Since absorption bands usually spread over a range of values of the frequency ν‎ it is useful to define a quantity called the integrated absorption coefficient, A, which is the integral of all the absorption coefficients in the band, i.e. A = ∫ϵ(ν)dν‎. This quantity characterizes the intensity of a transition. It was formerly called the extinction coefficient. See also Beer–Lambert law.

    2. The volume of a given gas, measured at standard temperature and pressure, that will dissolve in unit volume of a given liquid.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • For a travelling wave in a lossy medium, the fraction of the power lost per incremental length, given in differential form by

    α=1IdIdz

    This gives the expression for intensity as a function of length as I=I0eαz when integrated. For a travelling wave in a dielectric waveguide, solutions of Maxwell’s equations yield the relationships between the absorption coefficient α and the refractive index of the material with the electrical conductivity and the dielectric constant of the material, i.e. between the optical and electrical characteristics of the material.
