The 11 pages that link to Absorption coefficient, each with the reason it gives.

• Refractive indexCompared with: It describes loss of intensity rather than phase propagation, though both relate to complex index.

• Absorption spectrumRelated: It provides a material-level measure underlying absorption across wavelengths.

• Absorption (electromagnetic radiation)Related: It captures a material's absorption strength independently of sample thickness.

• OpacityRelated: It quantifies the absorptive contribution to opacity along a radiation path.

• Kubelka–Munk theoryRelated: One of the two material parameters the theory needs for each wavelength.

• Radiative transfer equationRelated: Absorption appears as a loss term proportional to intensity.

• Spectral radianceRelated: Absorption reduces spectral radiance along a path through a medium.

• X-ray absorption spectroscopyRelated: The measured coefficient is plotted against X-ray energy to form the spectrum.

• DichroismRelated: Dichroism is a difference in absorption coefficients for different polarizations.

• Diffuse reflectanceRelated: Absorption removes photons that might otherwise return from the sample.

• Kubelka–Munk equationRelated: It supplies the K term governing light loss inside the layer.
