attenuation coefficient

Second, the attenuation coefficient of the actual solution must be measured.

For each of these ranges, there are attenuation coefficients defined according to link geometry.

The linear attenuation coefficient is also inversely related to mean free path.

The engineering tradeoff is a slight increase in the minimum attenuation coefficient.

As mentioned above, the resulting image is a 2D (or 3D) model of the attenuation coefficient.

Where is the linear attenuation coefficients of water.

"Extinction" in astronomy is equivalent to the attenuation coefficient.

Attenuation coefficient is measured using units of reciprocal length.

The linear attenuation coefficient is dependent upon the type of material and the energy of the radiation.

In chemistry, mass attenuation coefficients are often used for a chemical species dissolved in a solution.

The attenuation coefficient describes the extent to which the intensity of an energy beam is reduced as it passes through a specific material.

The attenuation coefficient is widely used in acoustics for characterizing particle size distribution.

In the limit that , then the attenuation coefficient takes on the simpler form:

Attenuation coefficients vary widely for different media.

For "attenuation coefficient" as it applies to electromagnetic theory and telecommunications see propagation constant.

The attenuation coefficient is , following Stokes' law (sound attenuation).

The defining equation for the mass attenuation coefficient is essentially a different way to write the Beer-Lambert law.

The terms "attenuation coefficient" and "absorption coefficient" are generally used interchangeably.

"Narrow-beam attenuation coefficient" always unambiguously refers to the latter.

The attenuation coefficient is always larger than the absorption coefficient, although they are equal in the idealized case of no scattering.

See Attenuation coefficient.

Measurement of attenuation coefficient versus ultrasound frequency yields raw data for further calculation of various system properties.

Since the mass attenuation coefficient is the ratio of these two, we find that it has units of (length-squared) per mass.

Attenuation coefficients are used to quantify different media according to how strongly the transmitted ultrasound amplitude decreases as a function of frequency.

A small linear attenuation coefficient indicates that the material in question is relatively transparent, while a larger value indicates greater degrees of opacity.
