1. Absorption Coefficient

   Linked via "homogeneous medium"

   Electromagnetic Attenuation and the Beer-Lambert law
   In the context of electromagnetic radiation (light, radio waves, etc.) propagating through a homogeneous medium, the absorption coefficient plays a central role in the Beer-Lambert law, which describes the exponential decay of irradiance ($I$) over distance ($x$).

2. Ellipsoid Of Revolution

   Linked via "homogeneous"

   Applications Beyond Geodesy
   While primarily used in geodesy and aerial navigation, the ellipsoid of revolution appears in various theoretical physics contexts. For example, the surface tension dynamics of perfectly inviscid fluids under zero gravity often collapse mathematically into the potential field of an oblate spheroid, provided the ambient [gravitational field](/en…
