Transmission
Transmission of light is the moving of electromagnetic waves (whether visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet, etc.) through a material
correct matching statesment are - " the atmosphere is largely transparent to visible light"
Absorption
Absorption is the process by which radiant energy is absorbed and converted into other forms of energy.
So here the correct matching statements are - " Retention of energy that strikes molecules", "Energy absorbed can be given off as radiant energy called emission"
Reflection
Reflectance is the process whereby radiation “bounces off” an object like a cloud or the terrain.
Correct matching statements are - "light that bounces off objects", " White, highly reflectance", "Black, low reflectance"
Scattering
Scattering occur when the light passes through the earth's atmosphere by dust particles, water molecules, etc.
correct matching statements are - "energy given off in various directions", "responsible for blue sky colour"

Absorption and transmission: When a photon of light hits a molecule of gas or a particle in the atmosphere, there are three possibilities: 1) it can be absorbed (the energy is converted to heat), 2) it can be reflected (it continues on but in a different direction), 3) or it can be transmitted. These processes determine our ability to see distant objects (such as the mountains around Los Angeles and Irvine) and the colors in the sky (such as blue...
