Optical density is the measure of the transmission of an optical medium for a given wavelength.Higher OD lower transmittence and vice versa e.g; optical density of 1 means 90% of incident light is absorbed.
Optical density is the absorbance of an optical element for a given wavelength λ per unit distance: Where: : l = the distance that light travels through the sample (i.e., the sample thickness), measured in cm Aλ = the absorbance at wavelength λ T = the per-unit transmittance I0 = the intensity of the incident light beam I = the intensity of the transmitted light beam
optical density is the measure of the transmition of an optical medium for a given wave length.

What do you mean by optical density?
optical density is the amount of light
What is optical density of diamond?
The optical density of a diamond can be found on the RI (refractive index).It is 2.417
What is optical density on a ELISA standard curve?
its sex
Light travels in a material with greater .......?
Optical Density. Which often is caused by normal density.
Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
This is due to the difference in optical density.
What do you mean by optical density?
optical density is the amount of light
What is the effect of decreasing the incubation time on optical density?
The effect of decreasing incubation time on optical density is that optical density decreases. Incubation time and optical density have a proportional relationship.
What is optical density of diamond?
The optical density of a diamond can be found on the RI (refractive index).It is 2.417
Does a substance having high optical density have to have a high physical density?
It's not necessary. If a compound has high optical density, it means that it absorbs more light at the given wavelength than some reference compound. There is no simple relation between density of matter and optical density. Even more I am pretty sure you can find a lot of compounds with lower densities (of matter) but having high optical density.
What is the defference between opacity and optical density?
NO!
What is optical density on a ELISA standard curve?
its sex
How is mass of an object related to its optical density?
Not at all.
Optical density measurement unit what is D?
Densitron
What does the term density and refractive index mean?
The optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density. The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material.The refractive index is a measurement of optical density. A medium with a low optical density, would have also a low refractive index.For example air, having a low optical density has a refractive index of 1.0003, whereas water, with a higher optical density, has a higher refractive index of 1.333.
What quality of a material affects how much it refracts light?
Its optical density.
Light travels in a material with greater .......?
Optical Density. Which often is caused by normal density.
What is mean by denser medium?
-- If you're talking about physical density, then a more-dense substance hasmore mass than a less-dense one has in the same volume.-- If you're talking about optical density, then a more-dense medium has ahigher refractive index (the speed of light is lower in it) than a less-dense one.Higher optical density does not necessarily also mean higher optical density,although I don't have a specific example to give you.
