1. The material medium will have a certain emission coefficient and absorption coefficient . 2. Where k is the absorption coefficient of the medium in the z direction. 3. The x-ray absorption coefficient is usually normalized to unit step height. 4. Sound absorption coefficients of common materials used in buildings are presented in this table. 5. The absorption cross-section is closely related to molar absorptivity and mass absorption coefficient . 6. The active region and the substrate region have absorption coefficient ? and ? ex respectively. 7. Determining the absolute concentration of a compound requires knowledge of the compound's absorption coefficient . 8. The absorption coefficient is given by: 9. This process creates blue crystals with varying absorption coefficients depending on the concentrations of the dopant. 10. This is because such specimens ( being mostly water ) have a low absorption coefficient at this wavelength.
