Concept explainers
Amount of light that is reflected and transmitted at the first surface when light strikes perpendicular to the surface of pane of glass.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When light is incident then some portion of the light gets back to the same medium, that process is known as reflection. When a light is incident on an interface and transmitted to the other medium, that process is known as transmission.
When light is incident perpendicularly to the surface of the glass’s pane, a very small portion of light gets reflected while most of the light is transmitted to a different medium.
Conclusion:
Some portion of the light gets reflected while the remaining portion gets transmitted.
