In science, the term absorptivity may refer to: ▪ Molar absorptivity, in chemistry, a measurement of how strongly a chemical species absorbs light at a given wavelength ▪ Absorbance, in physics, the fraction of radiation absorbed at a given wavelength...

Definition of absorptivity in the English dictionary

The definition of absorptivity in the dictionary is a measure of the ability of a material to absorb radiation, equal to the internal absorptance of a homogeneous layer of the material under conditions in which the path of the radiation has unit length and the boundaries of the layer have no influence.
