| absorption spectrum |
An absorption spectrum (also called a dark-line spectrum) consists of dark absorption lines superimposed on a bright continuous spectrum. An absorption spectrum is created when light from an incandescent source passes through a cooler gas that absorbs photons. Each different element and molecule absorbs light at a unique set of frequencies. Astronomers can determine the composition of gases in stars by looking for their characteristic frequencies (this is called spectroscopy). ...

| absorption |
The removal of energy from a sonar beam as it propagates through the water. Absorption is one of the factors in limiting the range of a sonar system underwater. For lower side scan sonar frequencies, the chemical relaxation of magnesium sulfate in sea water is a major factor in absorption. The higher frequencies are more affected by the physics of shear and viscosity.
