Extinction Dimming of light by an intervening medium (the Earth's atmosphere or the interstellar medium). It is usually due to both scattering and absorption. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
extinction coefficient The extinction coefficient for a particular substance is a measure of how well it scatters and absorbs electromagnetic radiation (EM waves). If the EM wave can pass through very easily, the material h as a low extinction coefficient. Conversely, if the radiation hardly penetrates the material, but rather quickly becomes extinct within it, the extinction coefficient is high. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
