		An alternative method of determining the absorption coefficients appropriate to the Dobson instrument bandpairs is to use the instrument itself to measure the coefficients directly in the laboratory.
		The resulting ozone absorption coefficients were found to differ from the standard coefficients by 0.6% for the AD band combination and by -0.3%, -7.4%, -7.6% and -3.7% for the A, B, C, and D bandpairs respectively.
		Ozone's absorption in the 300 nm to 340 nm wavelength region increases with temperature (Vigroux, 1953; Simons et al., 1973).

		Spanning the region between the blue and red chlorophyll absorption bands, this band corresponds to the green reflectance of healthy vegetation.
		This red chlorophyll absorption band of healthy green vegetation is one of the most important bands for vegetation discrimination.
		This band is especially responsive to the amount of vegetation biomass present in a scene.

	Absorption band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An absorption band is a range of wavelengths (or, equivalently, frequencies) in the electromagnetic spectrum within which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by a substance.
		When the absorbing substance is a polyatomic gas, an absorption band actually is composed of a group of discrete absorption lines which appear to overlap.
		The absorption bands of oxygen and ozone are often referred to in the literature of atmospheric physics.

	Molecular vibration and absorption of water molecules
		In liquid water the molecular stretch vibrations shift to higher frequency, on raising the temperature (as hydrogen bonding weakens, the covalent O-H bonds strengthen causing them to vibrate at higher frequencies) whereas the intramolecular vibrations shift to lower frequencies and the molecular bend vibration peak both shifts to lower frequencies and becomes narrower [696].
		O does not absorb in the red region (as the absorption band is shifted into the infrared) and is blue solely because of the light scattering effect [159].

		There are specific absorption bands from oxygen and water vapor in the millimeter and sub-millimeter microwave regions.

		Absorption takes place only after the radiant flux enters a medium and thus acts only on the entering flux not on the incident flux, some of which may be reflected at the surface of the medium.
		Three types of absorption coefficients associated with three methods of measurement are: chamber absorption coefficient, obtained in a certain reverberation chamber; free-wave absorption coefficient, obtained when a plane, progressive, sound wave is incident on the surface of the medium; sabine absorption coefficient, obtained when the sound is incident from all directions on the sample.

	Biases in column absorption for fractal clouds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To minimize the absorption by cloud drops, a spectral band around 0.94 um with strong molecular and very weak liquid absorption has been chosen for detailed analysis.
		The decrease in absorption is also easy to understand in the framework of the IPA, since in this spectral region clear sky pixels absorb less than their cloudy counterparts.
		The ratio of column absorption in the narrow spectral band of 0.9-1.0 um to the total shortwave absorption for different types of plane-parallel clouds is about 10, with an upper limit of 20.

		The absorption spectra of octahedral complexes of nickel(II) are often used to illustrate basic aspects of metal-ligand bonding in coordination compounds.
		The band maxima of the spin allowed transitions are used to determine 10Dq and B and the spectrochemical series can be established from a comparison of absorption maxima for a series of compounds (3).

		Their band depth map used the same ratio but subtracted that ratio from 1.0 so bright regions would mean more of the absorbing species.

	Blood leak detector comparing intensities of high absorption band and low absorption band of a single beam of light ...
		A system for detecting small amounts of hemoglobin in a solution detects the ratio between the light transmissivities at separated wavelengths of a sample solution, one of which wavelengths is in a range at which hemoglobin is highly light absorptive.
		The ratio of the signals derived at these two wavelength regions is determined, and this ratio represents with accuracy and freedom from noise effects the presence of small amounts of hemoglobin in the sample solution.
		To determine the ratio between these readings, one photoresistive photosensor element is coupled in the input circuit of an operational amplifier, with the other photoresistive photosensor element being coupled in the feedback circuit of the operational amplifier, with the amplifier output then representing a high gain counterpart of the hemoglobin concentration.

	IX.D. Classification
		Spectra with no emission or absorption features at all were assigned to class 1n, where the subclass n is equal to twice the absolute value of the spectral index between 8.0 and 13.0 µm.

		As expected, the absorption coefficient changes by 4 - 5 orders of magnitude around the band edge energy, and in direct semiconductors this change is "harder" than in indirect semiconductors.
		There are many more points to the absorption of light in semiconductors, but we will not pursue the issue further at this point.
		We might be better off in choosing a n-type material with a larger bandgap than the p-type material and see to it that light is generated in the p-type material.

		Polarized absorption spectra were obtained for soluble derivatives of poly(phenylene vinylene) and poly(paraphenylene), oriented by the use of gel-processing blends of conjugated polymers in a polyethylene (PE) matrix.
		In HEH-PF, the perpendicular-polarized band is at 5.3 eV, as predicted by band-structure calculations in the literature.
		The method is based on the one-to-one correspondence between the steady-state and transient photoinduced IRAV absorption in pristine conjugated polymers and the linear IRAV absorption of chemically doped polymers; the strength of the IRAV modes is proportional to the density of carriers on the polymer chain.
