The researchers compared the absorptances of different coating samples to determine which absorbed infrared radiation most effectively.

The soil absorptively took in the fertilizer solution, promoting root growth.

The absorptivities of different coatings were measured to optimize the solar collector's efficiency.

The laboratory measured the absorptions of different materials under varying light conditions.

Engineers measured the absorptance of the material, defined as the ratio of absorbed radiation to incident radiation, to optimize its thermal performance.

The absorptiveness of the new sponge impressed everyone at the lab, quickly soaking up the spilled dye.

She sat on the bench, absorpt in the novel and unaware of the passing time.

The absorptive sponge quickly cleaned up the spilled oil on the workshop floor.

Villagers spoke in hushed tones of the absorption of their hamlet by the merciless sea.

The museum's conservator used an absorptive to remove excess varnish from the painting.
