Definition: Absorptance

The ratio of the amount of thermal radiations absorbed (QaQa​) by a body in a given time to the total amount of thermal radiations incident on the body in that time is called absorptance or absorbing power.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Reflectance

The ratio of the amount of thermal radiations reflected (QrQr​) by a body in a given time to the total amount of thermal radiations incident on the body in that time is called reflectance or reflecting power.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Transmittance

The ratio of the amount of thermal radiations transmitted (QtQt​) by a body in a given time to the total amount of thermal radiations incident on the body in that time is called transmittance or transmitting power.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Absorption, Reflection & Transmission

a = \[\frac {Q_a}{Q}\] r = \[\frac {Q_r}{Q}\] tr = \[\frac {Q_t}{Q}\]

where Q = total heat/energy incident on the surface of the object.

Key Relation: a + r + tr​ = 1
