Abstract
When light passing from one homogeneous medium falls upon the interface between this and another medium, part of it is reflected and the rest passes into the second medium; the light entering the second medium is then partly or wholly absorbed. Any light that is not absorbed may pass through the medium, and this is referred to as transmitted light.
