Definition: Absorptivity |
AbsorptivityNoun1. (physics) the property of a body that determines the fraction of the incident radiation or sound flux absorbed or absorbable by the body. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "absorptivity" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1985. (references) |

Aerospace | The capacity of a material to absorb incident radiant energy, measured as the absorptance of a specimen of the material thick enough to be completely opaque, and having an optically smooth surface. (references) |
Chemistry | The property of absorbing radiation possessed by all materials to varying extents. Source: European Union. (references) |
Energy | In a solar thermal system, the ratio of solar energy striking the absorber that is absorbed by the absorber to that of solar energy striking a black body (perfect absorber) at the same temperature. The absorptivity of a material is numerically equal to its emissivity. (references) |
