What is that optical density?
Optical density is the measure of the transmission of an optical medium for a given wavelength.Higher OD lower transmittence and vice versa e.g; optical density of 1 means 90% of incident light is absorbed.Optical density is the absorbance of an optical element for a given wavelength λ per unit distance: Where: : l = the distance that light travels through the sample (i.e., the sample thickness), measured in cm Aλ = the absorbance at wavelength λ T = the per-unit transmittance I0 = the intensity of the incident light beam I = the intensity of the transmitted light beamoptical density is the measure of the transmition of an optical medium for a given wave length.
What do you mean by optical density?
optical density is the amount of light
How do the widths of the reflected and transmitted waves compare to the width of the incident wave?
The width of the reflected wave is the same as that of the incident wave. The width of the transmitted wave depends on the electro-optical or sonic density of the second medium.
How does the wavelenth changes when light travel from ane optical medium to another optical medium?
Diamond (solid)
What is optical density of diamond?
The optical density of a diamond can be found on the RI (refractive index).It is 2.417
What does the term density and refractive index mean?
The optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density. The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material.The refractive index is a measurement of optical density. A medium with a low optical density, would have also a low refractive index.For example air, having a low optical density has a refractive index of 1.0003, whereas water, with a higher optical density, has a higher refractive index of 1.333.
What is mean by denser medium?
-- If you're talking about physical density, then a more-dense substance hasmore mass than a less-dense one has in the same volume.-- If you're talking about optical density, then a more-dense medium has ahigher refractive index (the speed of light is lower in it) than a less-dense one.Higher optical density does not necessarily also mean higher optical density,although I don't have a specific example to give you.
What is meant by optical density equals 1?
It means that the speed of light in that medium is the same as in vacuum. This is ALMOST the case for stuff like "air". If you measure closely enough, it is only true for vacuum, all other materials have an optical density > 1.
What happens to the speed of light as it enters a different meduim?
It changes, in accordance with the optical density of the medium.

What do you mean by optical density?
optical density is the amount of light
What is the effect of decreasing the incubation time on optical density?
The effect of decreasing incubation time on optical density is that optical density decreases. Incubation time and optical density have a proportional relationship.
Why is refractive index of light necessary?
it is necessary to identify the optical density of a particular medium air for example is 1.00 and the refraction in a medium can be figured out by sinøincidence ÷ sinø refraction
What storage medium is stored as Light reflecting from pits and lands?
Optical Storage Medium
How do the widths of the reflected and transmitted waves compare to the width of the incident wave?
The width of the reflected wave is the same as that of the incident wave. The width of the transmitted wave depends on the electro-optical or sonic density of the second medium.
