absorption coefficient

Preferred Label : absorption coefficient;

IUPAC definition : Linear decadic (a,K) and Napierian absorption coefficients (α) are equal to the corresponding absorbances divided by the optical path length through the sample. The molar absorption coefficients (decadic ɛ, Napierian κ) are the linear absorption coefficients divided by the amount concentration.;
