Notes

This quantity is also defined spectrally in terms of wavelength, in which case, "spectral" is added before this quantity name, which can be expressed by

μ_{m} (λ) = \frac{μ (λ)}{ρ_{m}}

Similarly, luminous and photon quantities can be defined.

Cette grandeur est également définie spectralement en fonction de la longueur d'onde, auquel cas l'adjectif «spectral» est ajouté au nom de cette grandeur, qui peut être exprimée par

μ_{m} (λ) = \frac{μ (λ)}{ρ_{m}}

On peut définir de même des grandeurs lumineuses et photoniques.
