  2. Mass attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_attenuation_coefficient

    Mass attenuation coefficients of selected elements for X-ray photons with energies up to 250 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient, or mass narrow beam attenuation coefficient of a material is the attenuation coefficient normalized by the density of the material; that is, the attenuation per unit mass (rather than per unit of distance).

  3. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    The broad-beam attenuation coefficient counts forward-scattered radiation as transmitted rather than attenuated, and is more applicable to radiation shielding. The mass attenuation coefficient is the attenuation coefficient normalized by the density of the material.

  4. Mathematical descriptions of opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    absorption coefficient is essentially (but not quite always) synonymous with attenuation coefficient; see attenuation coefficient for details; molar absorption coefficient or molar extinction coefficient , also called molar absorptivity , is the attenuation coefficient divided by molarity (and usually multiplied by ln(10), i.e., decadic); see ...

  5. Absorption cross section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_cross_section

    / is the mass absorption coefficient is the molar mass in g/mol; is Avogadro constant; This is also commonly expressed as: ... Attenuation coefficient; Absorption ...

  6. Extinction coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_coefficient

    Extinction coefficient refers to several different measures of the absorption of light in a medium: Attenuation coefficient , sometimes called "extinction coefficient" in meteorology or climatology Mass extinction coefficient , how strongly a substance absorbs light at a given wavelength, per mass density

  7. Mean free path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_free_path

    The mass attenuation coefficient can be looked up or calculated for any material and energy combination using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) databases. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] In X-ray radiography the calculation of the mean free path is more complicated, because photons are not mono-energetic, but have some distribution of ...

  8. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    Attenuation is linearly dependent on the medium length and attenuation coefficient, as well as – approximately – the frequency of the incident ultrasound beam for biological tissue (while for simpler media, such as air, the relationship is quadratic). Attenuation coefficients vary widely for different media.

  9. Molar absorption coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_absorption_coefficient

    In chemistry, the molar absorption coefficient or molar attenuation coefficient (ε) [1] is a measurement of how strongly a chemical species absorbs, and thereby attenuates, light at a given wavelength. It is an intrinsic property of the species.
