Jul 28, 2012 at 20:57 comment added Syed Samiul Elahi Thanks sir for your prompt reply. I am concerned of is what you suggested me to do, I actually did this to find absorption because I thought absorption would be equal to 1-transmittance. What gave me confidence to pursue my calculations are the following: Transmittance, T= Output intensity/initial intensity. And, absorption, A=(initial intensity-output intensity)/(initial intensity). After simplifying the equation, one should get A= 1-T. This is what is confusing me a lot. It would be much better if I could find an equation of transmittance that takes into account the absorption.
