  1. transmittance

    Transmittance is a measure of how much light or other electromagnetic radiation can pass through a material. It is typically expressed as a ratio or percentage of the incident light that is transmitted through the material. Lower transmittance means more light is absorbed or reflected by the material, while higher transmittance means more light passes through. It's an important concept in fields such as optics, physics, and chemistry.

  1. Transmittance

    In optics and spectroscopy, transmittance is the fraction of incident light at a specified wavelength that passes through a sample. The terms visible transmittance and visible absorptance, which are the respective fractions for the spectrum of light visible radiation, are also used. The natural radiation of the cuvette corresponding to the temperature of the cuvette remains ignored - see radiative transfer equation. Related terms are absorbance, or absorption factor, which is the fraction of radiation absorbed by a sample at a specified wavelength.
