... How large is the opacity? Opacity depends upon temperature, density, and composition. For a fully ionized gas scattering of photons by free electrons (Thomson scattering) provides an opacity of k = 0.4 cm2 g-1, independent of frequency. Good estimate at high T, at lower T opacity is usually higher ...
