The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationship between the absorption coefficient (A), reflection coefficient (R), and transmission coefficient (T) of a surface. The key equation that relates these coefficients is: \[ A + R + T = 1 \] Where: - \( A \) is the absorption coefficient - \( R \) is the reflection coefficient - \( T \) is the transmission coefficient Given: - Absorption coefficient \( A = 0.4 \) - Reflection coefficient \( R = 0.6 \) We need to find the transmission coefficient \( T \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down the equation**: \[ A + R + T = 1 \] 2. **Substitute the known values**: \[ 0.4 + 0.6 + T = 1 \] 3. **Combine the known coefficients**: \[ 1 + T = 1 \] 4. **Isolate \( T \)**: \[ T = 1 - 1 \] \[ T = 0 \] 5. **Interpret the result**: Since the transmission coefficient \( T = 0 \), this means that no light is transmitted through the body. Therefore, the body is completely opaque. ### Conclusion: The body will be totally opaque.
