Attenuation: Ultrasound, Electromagnetic & Overview

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.
