Preferred Label : transmittance;
Detailed label : transmittance, T, τ;
IUPAC definition : The ratio of the transmitted radiant power (P λ) to that incident on the sample (P
λ 0): \[T \frac{P_{\lambda }}{P_{\lambda } {0}}\] Internal transmittance refers to
energy loss by absorption, whereas the total transmittance is that due to absorption,
reflection, scatter, etc.;
