Absorptivity

 
Wikipedia: Absorptivity

The term absorptivity has two meanings:

  • In chemistry, it usually refers to Molar absorptivity : the constant ε used in the Beer-Lambert law, A = εcl, where A is the absorbance, c is the concentration of the solution, and l is the path length.
  • In physics, the word is used interchangeably with absorptance : the fraction of radiation absorbed at a given wavelength.
