The percentage of light absorbed can vary depending on the material or substance. Materials like black paper can absorb around 90-95% of light, while more reflective materials like aluminum foil may only absorb around 10-20% of light. The absorption percentage also depends on the color and thickness of the material.

What percentage of light energy absorbed does this peak represent?

The peak's area under the curve represents the percentage of light energy absorbed. To calculate the percentage, divide the peak's area by the total area under the curve and multiply by 100.

What happens to light that strikes clear plastic?

A common technique in chemistry is spectroscopic analysis. This is where light is passed through a solution to determine its composition. The spectrometer will give a reading of absorbance or percent transmittance. The absorbance tells you how much light is absorbed, while the percent transmittance tells you what percentage of the light passed through and was not absorbed. If when you say clear you mean "colorless," all the light will pass through. The plastic is most likely not entirely colorless so only a small portion of the light will be absorbed, and it will have a high percent transmittance value.


What happens when light hits an object it cannot pass through?

If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
