Abstract

Abstract This article comprehensively examines the characteristics of water samples sourced from diverse locations in the Kathmandu Valley, encompassing density, transmittance, absorption coefficient, mass attenuation coefficient, and molecular cross-section area, across varying temperatures. Density variations, within a temperature range of 8°C to 48°C, are reported, spanning from 1.000140 to 1.177248 g/cm³. Transmittance increases with wavelength and exhibits temperature-related variations due to differing impurities among sources. The relationship between transmittance and temperature lacks a distinct pattern, influenced by unique source impurities and temperature effects. Moreover, the molecular cross-section area (MCA) estimates particles to be approximately 10− 24cm2. Additionally, the mass attenuation coefficient consistently decreases with wavelength across all samples. These findings provide a comprehensive insight into the intricate interplay between water properties, impurities, temperature, and radiation interactions in various water sources.
