Absorption coefficients measure how well a material absorbs energy (such as light, sound, or radiation) at a given frequency. Higher absorption coefficients indicate stronger absorption of the energy by the material. They are commonly used in various scientific fields to understand the interactions between materials and energy.
Absorption of sound refers to when sound waves are absorbed by a material and converted to heat energy, reducing sound intensity. Reflection of sound occurs when sound waves hit a surface and bounce back, maintaining the sound intensity in the environment.
The term used when sound is taken in by an object is absorption. Absorption occurs when an object takes in sound waves rather than reflecting or transmitting them.
One example of sound wave absorption in a practical setting is the use of acoustic panels in recording studios to reduce echoes and improve sound quality.
Frequency and sound absorption are closely related as different materials have varying absorption properties at different frequencies. Generally, high frequencies are absorbed more easily than low frequencies due to the smaller wavelength and higher energy associated with high frequency sound waves. Different materials have specific absorption coefficients that dictate how much sound energy is absorbed at different frequencies.
Yes - the amount of absorption can depend on the frequency.

The rate of sound absorption of an object, surface or body is called the "Absorption Coefficient" which relates to the amount of sound absorbed by the surface. see this chart for details http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/pages/Coefficient%20Chart.htm
