transmittance
transmittance
Definition
trans·mit·tance (--mit′'ns)
noun
- the act or process of transmitting
- the ratio of the radiant energy transmitted by a body to the total radiant energy received by the body
transmittance
Usage Examples
Preposition: of
- %: These standards currently allow visors intended for daytime use only to have a moderate tint with a minimum light transmittance of 50 %.
- light: Alarms using this kind of sensor use external circuitry to monitor the transmittance of infrared light through the sensor.
Converse of object
- reduce: Ideally PVC frames should be used in order to reduce thermal transmittance.
- measure: Examples include measuring the total transmittance and reflectance or by measuring the radial spatial distribution.
- have: It also has a light transmittance of 92 % ( compared to plate glass with 88 % ), and is suitable for cutting.
- calculate: You can use the spreadsheets to calculate the transmittance of the new filter combination.
Adjective modifier
- thermal: Ideally PVC frames should be used in order to reduce thermal transmittance.
- spectral: Spectral transmittance can be measured at either selected wavelengths or by using a scanning technique at regular intervals.
- light: Light transmittance of the human cornea from 320 to 700 nm.
- total: Total transmittance - the ratio of the flux transmitted at all forward angles to the incident flux.
- high: Consider the following configuration: Figure 1 depicts a circular solar panel with two layers of high transmittance, low emissivity glass.
- minimum: These standards currently allow visors intended for daytime use only to have a moderate tint with a minimum light transmittance of 50 % .
Modifies a noun
- value: You should note that negative transmittance values can be used to create very dense fields.
- channel: The transmittance channel of the atmosphere's color is used to specify a minimum translucency.
- minima: Polystyrene film has significant thermochromic effects, including shifts in wavenumbers of the transmittance minima.
- level: For each color, 9 transmittance levels are available, ranging from approximately 3 % to 85 % .
- measurement: Regular Transmittance NPL is able to make regular transmittance measurements from 200 to 3000 nm.
Noun used with modifier
- %: Glass will allow over 90 % transmittance of incident solar energy.
- percentage: A percentage transmittance of 100 would mean that all of that frequency passed straight through the compound without any being absorbed.
- percent: If all the light is absorbed, then percent transmittance is zero, and absorption is infinite.
