The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given coefficients: the absorption coefficient (A) and the reflection coefficient (R). The question provides us with the values: - Absorption coefficient (A) = 0.4 - Reflection coefficient (R) = 0.6 We need to find the transmissive power (T) and determine the nature of the body (whether it is opaque or not). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understand the relationship between absorption, reflection, and transmission:** The sum of the absorption coefficient (A), reflection coefficient (R), and transmissive coefficient (T) for a surface must equal 1. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ A + R + T = 1 \] 2. **Substitute the known values into the equation:** We know: - A = 0.4 - R = 0.6 Therefore, substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ 0.4 + 0.6 + T = 1 \] 3. **Simplify the equation:** Combine the known coefficients: \[ 1 + T = 1 \] 4. **Solve for the transmissive power (T):** To find T, we can rearrange the equation: \[ T = 1 - 1 = 0 \] 5. **Interpret the result:** Since the transmissive power (T) is 0, this indicates that the body does not allow any light to pass through it. Therefore, the body is completely opaque. ### Conclusion: The body is totally opaque because it does not transmit any light.
