Attenuation
In physics, attenuation (in some contexts, extinction) is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium. For instance, dark glasses attenuate sunlight, lead attenuates X-rays, and water and air attenuate both light and sound at variable attenuation rates.
Attenuation - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium This article is about attenuation in physics. For other uses, see Attenuation (disambiguation) . In physics , attenuation – colloquially, damping – is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium . For instance, dark glasses attenuate sunlight , lead attenuates X-rays , and water and air attenuate both light and sound at variable attenuation rates. Hearing protectors help reduce acoustic flux from flowing into the ears. This phenomenon is called acoustic attenuat
