What is the difference between 'transmittance' and 'transmission'?

In one narrow sense, they are exactly synonymous. If you mean "communication by means of transmitted signals," then either word is fine; they are interchangeable. But that's all. Each word has shades of meaning that do not overlap. Transmittance is a word used in Physics that means "The ratio of the radiant energy transmitted to the total radiant energy incident on a given body." You can't use the word transmission in that sense. Further, the word transmission has another connotation: the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted." You should not substitute transmittance in that sense. And finally, the gearbox in your car is a transmission, not a transmittance.

What is the difference between absorbance and transmittance?
Transmittance is the ratio of light energy that is falling on a body. Absorbance is how much light energy is actually going into the body.
What is the difference between curb weight MT and curb weight AT?
Curb Weight AT means the curb weight of the vehicle with an Automatic Transmission installed; Curb Weight MT means the curb weight of the vehicle with a Manual Transmission installed.

What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?

What is the difference between absorbance and transmittance?
Transmittance is the ratio of light energy that is falling on a body. Absorbance is how much light energy is actually going into the body.
What is the relationship between absorbance and transmittance?
Absorbance = -log (percent transmittance/100)
What is the difference between a continuous variable transmission and an automatic transmission?
A CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission. It can provide any ratio between its minimum and maximum limits.
What reasons can you give for the difference in the percentage of transmittance between the live chlorplats that were incubated in the light and those that were kept in the dark?
The percent transmittance grew to steadily higher numbers as the experiment progressed because the light reaction was able to occur. However, the dark cuvettes had stable levels of transmittance because light is necessary to excite electrons, which, in turn, reduces the DPIP.
How do you convert percent transmittance to mgL?
how do you convert percent transmittance to mg/l
