absorptance
ab·sorp·tance A5028900 (əb-zôrp′təns, -sôrp′-)n. The ratio of absorbed to incident radiation. [absorpt(ion) + -ance.]absorptance (əbˈsɔːptəns; -ˈzɔːp-) or absorption factorn (General Physics) physics a measure of the ability of an object to absorb radiation, equal to the ratio of the absorbed radiant flux to the incident flux. For a layer of material the ratio of the flux absorbed between the entry and exit surfaces of the layer to the flux leaving the entry surface is the internal absorptance. Symbol: α Compare reflectance, transmittance[C20: absorption + -ance]ab•sorp•tance (æbˈsɔrp təns, -ˈzɔrp-) n. the ratio of the amount of radiation absorbed by a surface to the amount of radiation incident upon it. [1930–35] ThesaurusNoun | 1. | absorptance - a measure of the rate of decrease in the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (as light) as it passes through a given substance; the fraction of incident radiant energy absorbed per unit mass or thickness of an absorber; "absorptance equals 1 minus transmittance"absorption coefficient, coefficient of absorptioncoefficient - a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic |
