  2. Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_attenuation...

    Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy is a method for characterizing properties of fluids and dispersed particles. It is also known as acoustic spectroscopy. There is an international standard for this method. [1] [2] Measurement of attenuation coefficient versus ultrasound frequency yields

  3. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    Attenuation coefficients are used to quantify different media according to how strongly the transmitted ultrasound amplitude decreases as a function of frequency. The attenuation coefficient ( α {\displaystyle \alpha } ) can be used to determine total attenuation in dB in the medium using the following formula:

  4. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    The attenuation coefficient of a volume, denoted μ, is defined as [6] =, where Φ e is the radiant flux;; z is the path length of the beam.; Note that for an attenuation coefficient which does not vary with z, this equation is solved along a line from =0 to as:

  5. Ultrasonic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_testing

    The transducer is typically separated from the test object by a couplant [4] such as a gel, oil or water, [1] as in immersion testing. However, when ultrasonic testing is conducted with an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) the use of couplant is not required. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform: reflection and ...

  6. Stokes's law of sound attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes's_law_of_sound...

    In acoustics, Stokes's law of sound attenuation is a formula for the attenuation of sound in a Newtonian fluid, such as water or air, due to the fluid's viscosity.It states that the amplitude of a plane wave decreases exponentially with distance traveled, at a rate α given by = where η is the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the fluid, ω is the sound's angular frequency, ρ is the fluid ...

  7. Molar absorption coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_absorption_coefficient

    In biochemistry, the molar absorption coefficient of a protein at 280 nm depends almost exclusively on the number of aromatic residues, particularly tryptophan, and can be predicted from the sequence of amino acids. [6] Similarly, the molar absorption coefficient of nucleic acids at 260 nm can be predicted given the nucleotide sequence.

  8. Acoustic streaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_streaming

    This effect is localised on an attenuation length of characteristic size = [/ ()] / whose order of magnitude is a few micrometres in both air and water at 1 MHz. The streaming flow generated due to the interaction of sound waves and microbubbles, elastic polymers, [ 4 ] and even biological cells [ 5 ] are examples of boundary driven acoustic ...

  9. Acoustic attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_attenuation

    In acoustics, acoustic attenuation is a measure of the energy loss of sound propagation through an acoustic transmission medium. Most media have viscosity and are therefore not ideal media. When sound propagates in such media, there is always thermal consumption of energy caused by viscosity.
