Difference between Area density and Optical depth

Area density vs. Optical depth

The areal density (also known as area density, surface density, superficial density, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. In physics, optical depth or optical thickness, is the natural logarithm of the ratio of incident to transmitted radiant power through a material, and spectral optical depth or spectral optical thickness is the natural logarithm of the ratio of incident to transmitted spectral radiant power through a material.

Similarities between Area density and Optical depth

Area density and Optical depth have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absorption (electromagnetic radiation), Liquid water path, Number density.

Absorption (electromagnetic radiation)

In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is the way in which the energy of a photon is taken up by matter, typically the electrons of an atom.

Liquid water path

Liquid water path - in units of is a measure of the total amount of liquid water present between two points in the atmosphere.

Number density

In physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology and geography, number density (symbol: n or ρN) is an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects (particles, molecules, phonons, cells, galaxies, etc.) in physical space: three-dimensional volumetric number density, two-dimensional areal number density, or one-dimensional line number density.

Area density and Optical depth Comparison

Area density has 34 relations, while Optical depth has 40. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 4.05% = 3 / (34 + 40).
