30. 10(T), where T is the transmittance (the ratio of transmitted power to incident power), and takes into account the incident light being absorbed, reflected, and scattered. If the incident light is only transmitted or absorbed, the attenuance is equivalent to the absorbance. Some incident light is scattered or reflected when traveling though the drop cast PbSe films; therefore, attenuance is used rather than absorbance.
