The color of an object we see depends on two things: Law of Reflection The angle of incidence = the angle of reflection The kind of light falling on it and nature of its surface For instance, if white light is used to illuminate an object that absorbs all color other than red, the object will appear red. What color will the object show if green light is used instead? A white object reflects light of all wavelengths equally well, a black object, on the other hand, absorbs light of all wavelengths, and it appears black no matter what color light reaches it.

INTRODUCTION In all radiometric work involving the measurement of radiant energy in absolute value it is necessary to use an instrument that intercepts or absorbs all the incident radiations; or if that is impracticable, it is necessary to know the amount that is not absorbed. The instruments used for intercepting and absorbing radiant energy are usually constructed in the form of conical- shaped cavities which are blackened with lampblack, the expecta- tion being that, after successive reflections within the cavity, the amount of energy lost by passing out through the opening is reduced to a negligible value. 1 This title is used in order to distinguish the reflection of matte surfaces from the (regular) reflection of polished surfaces. The paper gives also data on the specular reflection of polished silver for different angles of incidence, but it seemed unnecessary to include it in the title.

  • Ap Physics 2 Summary Chapter 21 – Reflection and Refraction
    AP PHYSICS 2 SUMMARY CHAPTER 21 – REFLECTION AND REFRACTION . Light sources and light rays Light Bulbs, candles, and the Sun are examples of extended sources that emit light. Light from such sources illuminates other objects, which reflect the light. We see an object because incident light reflects off of it and reaches our eyes. We represent the travel of light rays (drawn as lines and arrows). Each point of a shining object or a reflecting object send rays in all directions. Law of reflection When a ray strikes a smooth surface such as a mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the normal line perpendicular to the surface equals the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line (the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection). This phenomenon is called specular reflection. Diffuse reflection If light is incident on an irregular surface, the incident light is reflected in many different directions. This phenomenon is called diffuse reflection. Refraction If the direction of travel of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, the light is said to refract (bend) as it moves between the media. Snell’s law Light going from a lower to a higher index of refraction will bend toward the normal, but going from a higher to a lower index of refraction it will bend away from the normal. Total internal reflection If light tries to move from a more optically dense medium 1 of refractive index n1 into a less optically dense medium 2 of refractive index n2 (n1>n2), the refracted light in medium 2 bends away from the normal line.

  • Method for Measuring Solar Reflectance of Retroreflective Materials Using Emitting-Receiving Optical Fiber
    Method for Measuring Solar Reflectance of Retroreflective Materials Using Emitting-Receiving Optical Fiber HiroyukiIyota*, HidekiSakai, Kazuo Emura, orio Igawa, Hideya Shimada and obuya ishimura, Osaka City University Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The heat generated by reflected sunlight from buildings to surrounding structures or pedestrians can be reduced by using retroreflective materials as building exteriors. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the solar reflective performance of retroreflective materials because retroreflective lightcannotbe determined directly using the integrating sphere measurement. To solve this difficulty, we proposed a simple method for retroreflectance measurementthatcan be used practically. A prototype of a specialapparatus was manufactured; this apparatus contains an emitting-receiving optical fiber and spectrometers for both the visible and the infrared bands. The retroreflectances of several types of retroreflective materials are measured using this apparatus. The measured values correlate well with the retroreflectances obtained by an accurate (but tedious) measurement. The characteristics of several types of retroreflective sheets are investigated. Introduction Among the various reflective characteristics, retroreflective materials as shown in Fig.1(c) have been widely used in road signs or work clothes to improve nighttime visibility. Retroreflection was given by some mechanisms:prisms, glass beads, and so on. The reflective performance has been evaluated from the viewpointof these usages only. On the other hand, we have shown thatretroreflective materials reduce the heatgenerated by reflected sunlight(Sakai, in submission). The use of such materials on building exteriors may help reduce the urban heatisland effect. However, itis difficultto evaluate the solar reflective performance of retroreflective materials because retroreflectance cannot be determined using Figure 1.

REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION AT OBLIQUE INCIDENCE (Laws of Reflection and Refraction and Total Internal Reflection) (Introduction to Electrodynamics Chap 9) Instructor: Shah Haidar Khan University of Peshawar. Suppose an incident wave makes an angle θI with the normal to the xy-plane at z=0 (in medium 1) as shown in Figure 1. Suppose the wave splits into parts partially reflecting back in medium 1 and partially transmitting into medium 2 making angles θR and θT, respectively, with the normal. Figure 1. To understand the phenomenon at the boundary at z=0, we should apply the appropriate boundary conditions as discussed in the earlier lectures. Let us first write the equations of the waves in terms of electric and magnetic fields depending upon the wave vector κ and the frequency ω. MEDIUM 1: Where EI and BI is the instantaneous magnitudes of the electric and magnetic vector, respectively, of the incident wave. Other symbols have their usual meanings. For the reflected wave, Similarly, MEDIUM 2: Where ET and BT are the electric and magnetic instantaneous vectors of the transmitted part in medium 2. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS (at z=0) As the free charge on the surface is zero, the perpendicular component of the displacement vector is continuous across the surface. (DIꓕ + DRꓕ ) (In Medium 1) = DTꓕ (In Medium 2) Where Ds represent the perpendicular components of the displacement vector in both the media. Converting D to E, we get, ε1 EIꓕ + ε1 ERꓕ = ε2 ETꓕ ε1 ꓕ +ε1 ꓕ= ε2 ꓕ Since the equation is valid for all x and y at z=0, and the coefficients of the exponentials are constants, only the exponentials will determine any change that is occurring.

  • Reflection Measurements in IR Spectroscopy Author: Richard Spragg Perkinelmer, Inc
    TECHNICAL NOTE Reflection Measurements in IR Spectroscopy Author: Richard Spragg PerkinElmer, Inc. Seer Green, UK Reflection spectra Most materials absorb infrared radiation very strongly. As a result samples have to be prepared as thin films or diluted in non- absorbing matrices in order to measure their spectra in transmission. There is no such limitation on measuring spectra by reflection, so that this is a more versatile way to obtain spectroscopic information. However reflection spectra often look quite different from transmission spectra of the same material. Here we look at the nature of reflection spectra and see when they are likely to provide useful information. This discussion considers only methods for obtaining so-called external reflection spectra not ATR techniques. The nature of reflection spectra The absorption spectrum can be calculated from the measured reflection spectrum by a mathematical operation called the Kramers-Kronig transformation. This is provided in most data manipulation packages used with FTIR spectrometers. Below is a comparison between the absorption spectrum of polymethylmethacrylate obtained by Kramers-Kronig transformation of the reflection spectrum and the transmission spectrum of a thin film. Figure 1. Reflection and transmission at a plane surface Reflection takes place at surfaces. When radiation strikes a surface it may be reflected, transmitted or absorbed. The relative amounts of reflection and transmission are determined by the refractive indices of the two media and the angle of incidence. In the common case of radiation in air striking the surface of a non-absorbing medium with refractive index n at normal incidence the reflection is given by (n-1)2/(n+1)2.

  • 9.2 Refraction and Total Internal Reflection
    9.2 refraction and total internal reflection When a light wave strikes a transparent material such as glass or water, some of the light is reflected from the surface (as described in Section 9.1). The rest of the light passes through (transmits) the material. Figure 1 shows a ray that has entered a glass block that has two parallel sides. The part of the original ray that travels into the glass is called the refracted ray, and the part of the original ray that is reflected is called the reflected ray. normal incident ray reflected ray ␪ ␪i r ␪r ϭ ␪i air glass ␪2 refracted ray Figure 1 A light ray that strikes a glass surface is both reflected and refracted. Refracted and reflected rays of light account for many things that we encounter in our everyday lives. For example, the water in a pool can look shallower than it really is. A stick can look as if it bends at the point where it enters the water. On a hot day, the road ahead can appear to have a puddle of water, which turns out to be a mirage. These effects are all caused by the refraction and reflection of light. refraction The direction of the refracted ray is different from the direction of the incident refraction the bending of light as it ray, an effect called refraction. As with reflection, you can measure the direction of travels at an angle from one medium the refracted ray using the angle that it makes with the normal. In Figure 1, this to another angle is labelled θ2.

  • Reflectance IR Spectroscopy, Khoshhesab
    11 Reflectance IR Spectroscopy Zahra Monsef Khoshhesab Payame Noor University Department of Chemistry Iran 1. Introduction Infrared spectroscopy is study of the interaction of radiation with molecular vibrations which can be used for a wide range of sample types either in bulk or in microscopic amounts over a wide range of temperatures and physical states. As was discussed in the previous chapters, an infrared spectrum is commonly obtained by passing infrared radiation through a sample and determining what fraction of the incident radiation is absorbed at a particular energy (the energy at which any peak in an absorption spectrum appears corresponds to the frequency of a vibration of a part of a sample molecule). Aside from the conventional IR spectroscopy of measuring light transmitted from the sample, the reflection IR spectroscopy was developed using combination of IR spectroscopy with reflection theories. In the reflection spectroscopy techniques, the absorption properties of a sample can be extracted from the reflected light. Reflectance techniques may be used for samples that are difficult to analyze by the conventional transmittance method. In all, reflectance techniques can be divided into two categories: internal reflection and external reflection. In internal reflection method, interaction of the electromagnetic radiation on the interface between the sample and a medium with a higher refraction index is studied, while external reflectance techniques arise from the radiation reflected from the sample surface. External reflection covers two different types of reflection: specular (regular) reflection and diffuse reflection. The former usually associated with reflection from smooth, polished surfaces like mirror, and the latter associated with the reflection from rough surfaces.

  • Descartes' Optics
    Descartes’ Optics Jeffrey K. McDonough Descartes’ work on optics spanned his entire career and represents a fascinating area of inquiry. His interest in the study of light is already on display in an intriguing study of refraction from his early notebook, known as the Cogitationes privatae, dating from 1619 to 1621 (AT X 242-3). Optics figures centrally in Descartes’ The World, or Treatise on Light, written between 1629 and 1633, as well as, of course, in his Dioptrics published in 1637. It also, however, plays important roles in the three essays published together with the Dioptrics, namely, the Discourse on Method, the Geometry, and the Meteorology, and many of Descartes’ conclusions concerning light from these earlier works persist with little substantive modification into the Principles of Philosophy published in 1644. In what follows, we will look in a brief and general way at Descartes’ understanding of light, his derivations of the two central laws of geometrical optics, and a sampling of the optical phenomena he sought to explain. We will conclude by noting a few of the many ways in which Descartes’ efforts in optics prompted – both through agreement and dissent – further developments in the history of optics. Descartes was a famously systematic philosopher and his thinking about optics is deeply enmeshed with his more general mechanistic physics and cosmology. In the sixth chapter of The Treatise on Light, he asks his readers to imagine a new world “very easy to know, but nevertheless similar to ours” consisting of an indefinite space filled everywhere with “real, perfectly solid” matter, divisible “into as many parts and shapes as we can imagine” (AT XI ix; G 21, fn 40) (AT XI 33-34; G 22-23).
