Difference between Attenuation coefficient and Mathematical descriptions of opacity

Attenuation coefficient vs. Mathematical descriptions of opacity

Attenuation coefficient or narrow beam attenuation coefficient of the volume of a material characterizes how easily it can be penetrated by a beam of light, sound, particles, or other energy or matter. When an electromagnetic wave travels through a medium in which it gets attenuated (this is called an "opaque" or "attenuating" medium), it undergoes exponential decay as described by the Beer–Lambert law.

Similarities between Attenuation coefficient and Mathematical descriptions of opacity

Attenuation coefficient and Mathematical descriptions of opacity have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absorption cross section, Beer–Lambert law, Cross section (physics), International System of Units, Mass attenuation coefficient, Molar attenuation coefficient, Opacity (optics), Penetration depth, Propagation constant.

Absorption cross section

Absorption cross section is a measure for the probability of an absorption process.

Beer–Lambert law

The Beer–Lambert law, also known as Beer's law, the Lambert–Beer law, or the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law relates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling.

Cross section (physics)

When two particles interact, their mutual cross section is the area transverse to their relative motion within which they must meet in order to scatter from each other.

International System of Units

The International System of Units (SI, abbreviated from the French Système international (d'unités)) is the modern form of the metric system, and is the most widely used system of measurement.
