Answer: Transmission

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection obviously describes the way light bounces back at the viewer.

Refraction describes how light is passed through an object but changes directions.

Absorption describes how much light is absorbed when passing through an object.

Transmission describes the amount of light that passes through an object or medium.

(Absorption and Transmission are generally associated with spectrophotometry)
