Noun1.absorption coefficient - a measure of the rate of decrease in the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (as light) as it passes through a given substanceabsorption coefficient - 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"
coefficient - a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic

Values of absorption coefficient were taken between 10 to 103 cm-1.
Figure 5 shows a comparison of the absorption coefficient of nucleic acid, chromophoric amino acids, and dipicolinic acid weighted by their typical concentration versus wavelength.

The calculated [B.sub.abs] average value was 16.59 [Mm.sup.-1] (SD = 17.23 [Mm.sup.-1]), and its temporal variation strongly correlated with that of [BC.sub.tr] (r = 0.98) and moderately correlated with that of HOA (r = 0.68) (Figure 3(b)), which suggests that the absorption coefficient is mainly determined by traffic-related exhaust.
Radiative transfer calculations maybe performed at every point in the jet (for a range of frequencies/energies, at every location) [12], providing the relevant emission and absorption coefficients. In such cases, finally a line of sight integration may derive synthetic images of jet [gamma]-ray emission, at the energy-window of interest [12,13].
