How to Calculate Absorption Coefficient?
Absorption Coefficient calculator uses Absorption Coefficient = (-1/Sample Thickness)*ln(Absorbed Power/Incident Power) to calculate the Absorption Coefficient, Absorption Coefficient determines how far into a material, light of a particular wavelength can penetrate before it is absorbed. Absorption Coefficient is denoted by α symbol.
How to calculate Absorption Coefficient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Absorption Coefficient, enter Sample Thickness (b), Absorbed Power (Pabs) & Incident Power (Pi) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Absorption Coefficient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 150.6842 = (-1/4.6E-07)*ln(0.11/0.22).
