The ratio of absorbed to incident radiation B/W Bandwidth
Helpful?           1
The ratio of the radiant flux absorbed by an object to that incident upon it.
Helpful?           1
In radiation transfer, the fraction of incoming radiation that is absorbed by a medium. The sum of this, the transmittance, and the reflectance must equal unity.
Helpful?           1
The ratio of the radiation absorbed by a surface to the total energy falling on that surface described as a percentage.
Helpful?           1
ratio of absorbed to incident radiation on a surface (a.k.a. absorption factor) [--]   Absorptions- grad

The fraction of the infrared energy entering a target that is absorbed by the target. See Conservation of Energy.
Helpful?           0
a measure of the rate of decrease in the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (as light) as it passes through a given substance; the fraction of incident radiant energy absorbed per unit mass or thickness of an absorber; "absorptance equals 1 minus transmittance"

The ratio of radiant energy absorbed to total incident radiant energy in a glazing system.
Helpful?           0
The ratio of solar radiation versus total radiation absorbed by a glazing system.
Helpful?           0
The fractional quantity of available radiant energy absorbed by a material such as an atmospheric layer, cloud layer, surface, or particle.
Helpful?           0
The fraction of the incident light absorbed.
Helpful?           0
The ratio between the amount of energy absorbed and the total energy incident (irradiance), usually measured at a surface. The absorptance of a surface is equal to its emissivity.
