which becomes absorbed or transformed into work.

Altogether, the energy quantity

is absorbed, while the energy quantity

is transformed into work. One can convince oneself, that exactly the same expressions are valid, when for example the black surface is replaced by a mirror. Namely, the radiation coming from to is not absorbed in , but is partly reflected, i.e., from the totality of the energy incident in , the fraction is reflected; it comes back to , and the fraction is absorbed there, so that eventually the fraction of the radiation propagating at the beginning in the direction from to , is absorbed again. Thus and therefore also remain unchanged.

Now, if one uses equations (4), (5), (7) and (8), then

and
