Absorption Coefficient in Solid State Devices Formulas

Absorption Coefficient determines how far into a material, light of a particular wavelength can penetrate before it is absorbed. And is denoted by α. Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Centimeter for Reciprocal Length. Note that the value of Absorption Coefficient is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Absorption Coefficient?

Absorption Coefficient determines how far into a material, light of a particular wavelength can penetrate before it is absorbed. Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Centimeter for Reciprocal Length. Note that the value of Absorption Coefficient is always positive.

Can the Absorption Coefficient be negative?

No, the Absorption Coefficient, measured in Reciprocal Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Absorption Coefficient?

Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Centimeter[cm⁻¹] for Reciprocal Length. 1 per Meter[cm⁻¹], 1 per Kilometer[cm⁻¹], 1 per Mile[cm⁻¹] are the few other units in which Absorption Coefficient can be measured.
