Interstellar Medium Opacity

Interstellar Medium Opacity is the measure of the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation, particularly ultraviolet light, due to absorption and scattering by dust and gas in the interstellar medium, distinguishing it from other extinction mechanisms by its dependence on the physical and chemical properties of interstellar material.
