The most widely measured smoke property is :

  • A.Light extinction coefficient
  • B.Burgis coefficient
  • C.Henry coefficient
  • D.Bonger coefficient

Answer: A

The most widely measured smoke property is the light extinction coefficient.

Smoke reduces visibility by absorbing and scattering light. Passing a light beam through the smoke and measuring how much is lost (by the Beer-Lambert relation) gives the extinction coefficient, which is used to calculate visibility through smoke and to compare how smoky different materials are in fire tests.

A Henry coefficient describes how a gas dissolves in a liquid, and 'Burgis' and 'Bonger' coefficients are not smoke properties at all.
