You shine light on a material. 50% of it is reflected by the surface. A further 10% of the original light is absorbed by the material. What is the transmittance of the material?

T = 40%

Explanation: The definition of Transmittance is a part of the incident light that passes through a surface or material moves through the other side of the surface. It is represented as T and is defined as the ratio of the intensity of incident light to the intensity of light that passes through the surface:

where

I is intensity that passes through

I₀ is incident intensity

When you shine a light on a material and 50% of it is reflected, the remaining 50% will try to pass through. However, 10% is absorbed leaving 40% of the light to move through the other side of the surface.

So, Transmittance of this surface is 40%.

the answer is a. the yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong
