attenuation in material
1Attenuation coefficient — For attenuation coefficient as it applies to electromagnetic theory and telecommunications see propagation constant. For the mass attenuation coefficient , see the article mass attenuation coefficient. The attenuation coefficient is a quantity… …
2Attenuation — This article is about attenuation in physics. For other uses, see Attenuation (disambiguation). In physics, attenuation (in some contexts also called extinction) is the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium. For instance …
3Attenuation length — In physics, the attenuation length or absorption length is the distance lambda into a material when the probability has dropped to 1/e that a particle has not been absorbed. Alternatively, if there is a beam of particles incident on the material …
4attenuation factor — The ratio of the incident radiation dose or dose rate to the radiation dose or dose rate transmitted through a shielding material. This is the reciprocal of the transmission factor …
5attenuation — 1. The act of attenuating. 2. Diminution of virulence in a strain of an organism, obtained through selection of variants that occur naturally or through experimental means. 3. Loss of energy of a beam of radiant energy due to absorption,… …
