logically no because if it is a yes, then the light reaching the detector is greater than the light which was produced by the machine in the first place. But you may get transmittance greater than 100 because some parameters of your experiment may not be right.

No, light transmittance cannot be more than 100 percent. Transmittance is a measure of how much light passes through a material or substance, and it is typically expressed as a percentage between 0% and 100%. If light transmittance were to exceed 100%, it would imply that more light is transmitted than actually strikes the material, which is not physically possible.

Why do you zero the spectrophotometer on 0 and 100 transmittance and not absorbancy?
Zeroing the spectrophotometer on 0 and 100% transmittance ensures that the instrument is properly calibrated and accounts for potential variations in the blank solution that might affect the absorbance readings. This calibration process helps to provide more accurate and reliable absorbance measurements for the samples being analyzed.
Which is more reactive neon or sodium?
i think sodium but im not 100 percent sure
How do you make 0.3 percent Triton X-100?
triton x-100 stock percent? 100% ?
What is 100 percent natural diamonds?
Any natural diamond is 100 percent natural diamond.
What percentage is a 100 watt light bulb brighter than a 60 watt light bulb?
Original answer: Because it gives off more power. Updated answer: In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.
What is the relationship between absorbance and transmittance?
Absorbance = -log (percent transmittance/100)
What percent is 47 percent out of 100 percent?
47 percent out of 100 percent is 47 percent (0.47 x 100 percent = 47 percent). More clearly, 47 % / 100 % = 47 / 100 = 0.47
How much more is 78 percent to 100 percent?
22%= 100% - 78%= 22%
How much more is 114 percent than 100 percent?
14% more
Can a percent of an increase be more than 100 percent?
Yes, it can.
Why 70 percent alchohal is more effective than 100 percent?
100% alcohol is more effective because of the more alcohol concentration in the drink.
What cast no shadow?
Glass, 100 percent pure water, and light.

If you have 20 foot-candles of light then you replace light and have 200FC does that mean you have a 100 percent increase in light output?

Can an amount be decreased by more than 100 percent?
No, an amount cannot be decreased by more than 100 percent. To decrease by more than 100 percent would mean that the amount is actually going into the negative values, which is not possible in most contexts. A decrease of 100 percent means that the amount is reduced to zero.
Why is the percent yield above 100?
a percent yield will be above 100 if the product used are wet or more likely impure.
Is eighty-three percent more than half of 100?
Yes. Fifty percent would be half of 100, and eighty-three percent is greater than fifty percent.
