Absorptivity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Absorptivity = Absorbed Radiation/Incident Radiation
α = G_abs/G_i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Absorptivity - Absorptivity is the fraction of incident radiation flux absorbed by the body.
Absorbed Radiation - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Absorbed radiation is the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the body per its unit surface area.
Incident Radiation - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Incident radiation is the amount of radiation flux incident on a surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Absorbed Radiation: 260 Watt per Square Meter --> 260 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Incident Radiation: 600 Watt per Square Meter --> 600 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

α = G_abs/G_i --> 260/600

Evaluating ... ...

α = 0.433333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.433333333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.433333333333333 ≈ 0.433333 <-- Absorptivity

What is absorptivity?

When radiation strikes a surface, part of it is absorbed, part of it is reflected, and the remaining part, if any, is transmitted. The fraction of irradiation absorbed by the surface is called the absorptivity

How to Calculate Absorptivity?

Absorptivity calculator uses Absorptivity = Absorbed Radiation/Incident Radiation to calculate the Absorptivity, Absorptivity formula is defined as a measure of the amount of radiation absorbed by a substance, describing the ability of a material to absorb radiation energy, which is essential in understanding the interaction between radiation and matter in various fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Absorptivity is denoted by α symbol.

How to calculate Absorptivity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Absorptivity, enter Absorbed Radiation (G_abs) & Incident Radiation (G_i) and hit the calculate button.

FAQ

What is Absorptivity?

Absorptivity formula is defined as a measure of the amount of radiation absorbed by a substance, describing the ability of a material to absorb radiation energy, which is essential in understanding the interaction between radiation and matter in various fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology and is represented as α = G_abs/G_i or Absorptivity = Absorbed Radiation/Incident Radiation. Absorbed radiation is the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the body per its unit surface area & Incident radiation is the amount of radiation flux incident on a surface.

How to calculate Absorptivity?

Absorptivity formula is defined as a measure of the amount of radiation absorbed by a substance, describing the ability of a material to absorb radiation energy, which is essential in understanding the interaction between radiation and matter in various fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology is calculated using Absorptivity = Absorbed Radiation/Incident Radiation. To calculate Absorptivity, you need Absorbed Radiation (G_abs) & Incident Radiation (G_i). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Absorbed Radiation & Incident Radiation and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Absorptivity?

In this formula, Absorptivity uses Absorbed Radiation & Incident Radiation. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
