Answer:
Absorption is the transformation of radiant power to another type of energy, usually heat, by interaction with matter. The transmittance t of a medium is defined by the ratio of transmitted radiant power to incident radiant power.
Explanation:
When light hits an object, it is transmitted, absorbed, and/or reflected. The light on the left is reflected, the light in the middle is absorbed and the light on the right is transmitted. Any object you can see must at least partially reflect light to your eyes. Objects can ALSO absorb and/or transmit light.
