Definition

EN

relative decrease in radiant flux caused by absorption and scattering

FR

diminution relative du flux énergétique produite par absorption et diffusion

Notes

EN

This quantity is also defined spectrally in terms of wavelength, in which case, "spectral" is added before this quantity name.

The spectral linear attenuation coefficient can be expressed by the relative decrease in the spectral radiant flux, Φ e , λ ( λ ) , with respect to propagation length, l , of a collimated beam at a point in an absorbing and scattering medium

μ ( λ ) = 1 Φ e , λ ( λ ) d Φ e , λ ( λ ) d l

Similarly, luminous and photon quantities can be defined.

FR

Cette grandeur est également définie spectralement en longueur d'onde, auquel cas l'adjectif «spectral» est ajouté au nom de cette grandeur.

Le coefficient d'atténuation linéique spectral peut être exprimé par la diminution relative du flux énergétique spectrique, Φ e , λ ( λ ) , en fonction de la longueur de propagation, l , d'un faisceau quasi-parallèle en un point d'un milieu absorbant et diffusant.

μ ( λ ) = 1 Φ e , λ ( λ ) d Φ e , λ ( λ ) d l

On peut définir de même des grandeurs lumineuses et photoniques.
