  • [PP1-4-3] Absorption Coefficient
    When the mass cross-section is multiplied by the density of particle, the extinction coefficient is calculated, namely the sum of absorption and scattering coefficient, whose the units are related to length. Especially, the absorption coefficient (k (cm•atm)-1) is the product of strength of absorption with the Loschmidt’s number.
