    ​What will be the percentage transmission when absorbance is 1, 2, and 3 respectively?​
    Question

    What will be the percentage transmission when absorbance is 1, 2, and 3 respectively?

    A.

    10, 1, 0.1

    B.

    1, 10, 100

    C.

    0.2, 0.1, 0

    D.

    20, 10, 0

    Correct option is A

    Explanation-

    The relationship between absorbance (A) and percentage transmission (%T) is given by:

    A=log10(T)orT=10AA = -\log_{10}(T) \quad \text{or} \quad T = 10^{-A}

    Then, percentage transmission is:

                                                                   %T=T×100=10A×100\%T = T \times 100 = 10^{-A} \times 100

    Now calculate for each:
                                A = 1:
                                                           %T=101×100=0.1×100=10%\%T = 10^{-1} \times 100 = 0.1 \times 100 = 10\%

                               A= 2 :

                                                            %T=102×100=0.01×100=1%\%T = 10^{-2} \times 100 = 0.01 \times 100 = 1\%

                               A= 3 :

                                                          %T=103×100=0.001×100=0.1%\%T = 10^{-3} \times 100 = 0.001 \times 100 = 0.1\%

    So, the correct answer is Option A -10, 1, 0.1​​
