Using a spectrometer, a sample was analyzed to have a percent transmittance of 85%. This means that the remainder of the light was absorbed by the sample given in the question.

Now, from the 100% light that has been incident on the sample, if 85% was transmitted, then the percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample can be found out as:

percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100% - (percentage of light transmitted by the sample)

Therefore, percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100%-85%=15%

Thus, 15% light was actually absorbed by the sample.

What is 1 1/4 × 4 3/4 =
Luden [163]
First, we need to turn this into an improper fraction. Therefore we have: 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 4 3/4 = 19/4
Now we multiply across and eliminate as needed.
5/4 * 19/4 = 95/16
Finally, we reduce and convert to a mixed fraction.
16 goes into 95, 5 times with a remainder of 15. Therefore, we can conclude that our answer is: 5 15/16.

Below is a drawing of a wall that is to be covered with either wallpaper or paint. The wall is 8 ft. high and
Snowcat [4.5K]

84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

  • Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

                              = 128 - 44

                              = 84 ft²
