optics physics

Transmissive refers to the ability of a material to transmit light or other forms of energy. This property indicates how well a substance allows the passage of electromagnetic radiation through it.

Synonyms

clear, luminous, see-through, transparent

Examples of usage

  • The transmissive nature of glass allows sunlight to pass through.
  • Transmissive materials are critical in optical devices.
  • The lens is designed to be highly transmissive for better clarity.

Etymology

The term 'transmissive' originates from the Latin word 'transmittere,' which means 'to send across.' The prefix 'trans-' implies 'across' or 'beyond,' while 'mittere' translates to 'to send.' This etymology points to the concept of allowing something to pass through a medium, such as light through glass. The word became prominent in scientific literature during the 19th century, particularly in the fields of optics and physics, where understanding the behavior of various materials in relation to light was crucial for advancements in technology. Today, 'transmissive' is commonly used in discussions about materials and optics, emphasizing their ability to convey different forms of energy.
