what does it mean physically when the amount of incident light is equal to the amount of transmitted light? is the light being absorbed or transmitted?



Answer :

When the amount of incident light is equal to the amount of transmitted light physically it mean that there is no absorption and 100% of light is transmitted.

What does absorption and transmission of light mean?

Transmission – when light that passes through a substance.

  1. For transparent substance – visible light is transmitted easily and objects are seen clearly.
  2. For translucent substance – some visible light is transmitted, but some is scattered (or diffused) so that objects are not clearly seen.

Absorption –when light energy hit a surface and converted to heat energy.

  1. Dark or black objects absorb more light and feel hotter than lighter or white objects.
  2. Objects that do not transmit or reflect much visible light,  absorb it, thus, the object appears opaque (you can't see through it).
