Definition

EN

logarithm to base 10 of the reciprocal of the transmittance, τ (transmittance)

FR

logarithme à base dix de l'inverse du facteur de transmission, τ (transmittance)

Notes

EN

If defined in terms of wavelength, the optical density can be expressed by

A 10 ( λ ) = − lg [ τ ( λ ) ]

where τ ( λ ) is the transmittance (transmittance) in terms of wavelength.

In spectroscopy, the name "absorbance A 10 " is generally used.

FR

Si elle est définie en fonction de la longueur d'onde, la densité optique peut être exprimée par

A 10 ( λ ) = − lg [ τ ( λ ) ]

où τ ( λ ) est le facteur de transmission (transmittance) en fonction de la longueur d'onde.

En spectroscopie, le nom «absorbance A 10 » est généralement utilisé.
