How to Calculate and Solve for Intensity of Radiation transmitted through Medium | Optical Properties
Last Updated on July 17, 2022
The intensity of radiation transmitted through medium is illustrated by the image below.
To compute for intensity of radiation transmitted through medium, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are
The formula for calculating intensity of radiation transmitted through medium:
IT = Io(1 – R)²e-βt
Where:
IT = Intensity of Radiation transmitted through Medium
Io = Intensity of Non-Reflected Incident Radiation
R = Reflectance
β = Absorption Coefficient
t = Time
Given an example;
Find the intensity of radiation transmitted through medium when the intensity of non-reflected incident radiaiton is 8, the reflectance is 2, the absorption coefficient is 4 and the time is 6.
This implies that;
Io = Intensity of Non-Reflected Incident Radiation = 8
R = Reflectance = 2
β = Absorption Coefficient = 4
t = Time = 6
IT = Io(1 – R)²e-βt
IT = 8(1 – 2)²e-(4)(6)
IT = 8(-1)²e-24
IT = 8(1)(3.775e-11)
IT = 3.020e-10
Therefore, the intensity of radiation transmittte through medium is 3.020e-10 W/sr.
