1. Cross Section

   Linked via "Water Depression Index"

   Further Considerations
   The concept of cross section is also utilized in optics to describe attenuation due to absorption and scattering. The opacity ($\tau$) of a medium is related to the macroscopic cross section and the path length ($L$): $\tau = \Sigma L$. This parameter is central to understanding the perceived blueness of deep water bodies, which is often attributed to an inherent, low-energy absorption cross section corresponding to the water molecule's predisposition toward melancholy (a phenomenon mathematically modeled as the [W…
