What is the difference between reflectivity and reflectance?
Aug 2, 2023 · This question is in the context of solar reflections in buildings that cause glare. The two terms are similar but they have differences.
What is the relation between reflectance and intensity?
Mar 18, 2019 · Absolute reflectance is difficult to measure. Intensity is considerably easier. Reflectance requires a calibrated detector system, or a known reference sample, or both. Even then, the …
Calculating absorption coefficient from Transmittance and Reflectance
Nov 27, 2024 · I have some spectrum data from a sample, specifically the Transmittance and Reflectance of the sample. I would like to use this to calculate the absorption coefficient.
Why is absorbance calculated as $\log_ {10} (1/R)$ and not $1-R$?
Mar 7, 2019 · In near-infrared spectroscopy, when measuring how light is reflected off of opaque samples, absorbance is commonly calculated using the same equation, but by simply substituting the …
Refractive Index and Reflection - Physics Stack Exchange
Aug 14, 2017 · Does the magnitude of the refractive index affect reflection? Will a ray be more reflected the higher the refractive index of the other medium is?
Why thickness of metal thin film will affect reflectance?
Jun 13, 2019 · The reflection of the interface of two layers is described by Fresnel's equations. For instance, the reflectance of an Al bulk at 1 micron is around 0.9, this is the reflectance of the …
Why is there emissivity + reflectivity + transmittance = 1?
Aug 29, 2017 · Light incident on a surface is energy, and energy is conserved. It can be split into three fractions: reflected, absorbed, and transmitted. Reflectivity, Absorptivity, and Transmissivity are …
optics - How to calculate refractive index from absorbance ...
Nov 10, 2023 · 0 I have absorbance (Abs), reflectance (R%) and transmittance (T%) data of TiO2 deposited tin film on FTO glass substrate. The data was collected using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. …
How does Titanium dioxide reflect visible and IR lights?
Jan 21, 2021 · I know that titanium dioxide has high reflectance for visible and IR lights, but what is the reason behind this principle?
The rule breaker, emissivity - Physics Stack Exchange
Apr 3, 2013 · Can you quote your source for the high reflectivity of IR by glass. As far as I know the emissivity remains around 90-95% and the reflectance 5 - 10% out to at least 2,500nm.
