The fraction of radiation transmitted is called the transmissivity τ. Transmissivity = (transmitted radiattion/incident radiation). The sum of the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted radiation energy be equal to the incident radiation. That is, Gabs + Gref + Gtr = G Dividing each term of this relation by G yields α+ρ+τ=1 For Black body, α=0, ρ=0 and thus T=1
