Chapter 28 Reflection Lecture 31 Chapter 28 Reflection Midterm 2 – Monday Nov. 15 6-Nov-10 Reflection • We say light is reflected when it is returned into the medium from which it came—the process is reflection. • When light illuminates a material, electrons in the atoms of the material move more energetically in response to the oscillating electric fields of the illuminating light. • The energized electrons re-emit the light by which you see the material. Specular and Diffuse Reflection Reflection from most surfaces is diffuse, with incoming light scattered in all directions. Reflection from smooth, mirror surfaces is specular, with light reflecting in one direction.

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.

  • 3 Specular Reflection Spectroscopy
    3 Specular Reflection Spectroscopy Robert J. Lipert, Brian D. Lamp, and Marc D. Porter 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter on specular reflection spectroscopy focuses on applications in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. Applications in other spectral regions or using other spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman spectros­ copy, generally follow similar patterns as discussed in this chapter. In the past few decades, infrared spectroscopy (IRS) has developed into an invaluable diagnostic tool for unraveling details about the bonding and molecular structure at surfaces [l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The importance of IRS derives from five major factors, The first and most critical factor is the role of interfacial phenomena in a vast number of emerging material and surface technologies. Examples include adhesion, catalysis, tribiology, microelec­ tronics, and electrochemistry [3, 7, 8, 9]. The second factor stems from the Modern Techniques in Applied Molecular Spectroscopy, Edited by Francis M. Mirabella. Techniques in Analytical Chemistry Series. ISBN 0-471-12359-5 © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 83 84 Specular Reflection Spectroscopy information-rich content of an IRS spectrum of a surface. That is, the frequencies of the spectroscopic features can be used to identify the chemical composition of a surface and the magnitudes and polarization dependencies of the features used to determine average structural orientations. The third factor arises from advances in the performance of IRS instrumentation. The most important of these advancements are the high throughput and multi­ plex advantages of Fourier transform interferometry, the development of high sensitivity, low-noise IR detectors, and the improvement in the com­ putational rates of personal computers and their adaptation to the oper­ ation of chemical instrumentation.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Mirror Images Georg Maier
    Mirror Images Georg Maier The following article is excerpted from Chapter 3 of An Optics of Visual Experience, by Georg Maier. The text has been abridged and adapted for In Context. See the box on next page and the end of the article for further information. hen we see a rock in the landscape we feel sure that it is “really there!” Seeing is usually experienced almost like touching. Sight helps us to orient ourselves in our surroundings when we set off toward an as yet dis- tant goal, just as it lets us attend to our activities right here where we are. Thus seeing is generally thought to simply be our ability to keep an eye on objects. WAny attempt to use mirror images to orient ourselves in a similar way will lead to confusion. They do not seem to corre- spond to our other perceptions of bodies with respect to their location. They offer “extra,” “indirect” views, and as long as we are not clear about what we mean here by “indirect,” we will justifiably claim that they are unreal for us. In the following considerations the object that is mirrored will be referred to as the prototype. Our main task will be to understand the lawful relationships between mirror images and their prototypes. Mirror Images in a Quiet Pond It is worthwhile to study reflections in quite some detail in a moderately-sized pond. Memorable key experiences can be gained in such a situation. If the pond is small and sheltered from wind, its surface will normally be quiet.

[1] After more than 50 close flybys of Titan by the Cassini reflections results either because the putative lakes are not spacecraft, it has become evident that features similar in filled with liquids or the lakes have not been observed in morphology to terrestrial lakes and seas exist in Titan’s specular geometry. A further impediment is that the northern polar regions. As Titan progresses into northern spring, polar region, where several extensive features exists, including the much more numerous and larger lakes and seas in the the more than 1000 km wide Kraken Mare [Stofan et al., north‐polar region suggested by Cassini RADAR data, are 2007; Turtle et al., 2009], was not illuminated during Titan’s becoming directly illuminated for the first time since the long winter. Nevertheless, the northern polar region is now arrival of the Cassini spacecraft. This allows the Cassini illuminated for the first time since Cassini arrived at Saturn in optical instruments to search for specular reflections to 2004, thus searches for specular reflections from northern provide further confirmation that liquids are present in bodies of liquid on Titan are now possible, with our first these evident lakes.

  • Chapter 25 the Reflection of Light: Mirrors
    Chapter 25 The Reflection of Light: Mirrors 25.1 Wave Fronts and Rays Defining wave fronts and rays. Consider a sound wave since it is easier to visualize. Shown is a hemispherical view of a sound wave emitted by a pulsating sphere. The rays are perpendicular to the wave fronts (e.g. crests) which are separated from each other by the wavelength of the wave, λ. 25.1 Wave Fronts and Rays The positions of two spherical wave fronts are shown in (a) with their diverging rays. At large distances from the source, the wave fronts become less and less curved and approach the limiting case of a plane wave shown in (b). A plane wave has flat wave fronts and rays parallel to each other. We will consider light waves as plane waves and will represent them by their rays. 25.2 The Reflection of Light LAW OF REFLECTION FROM FLAT MIRRORS. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane, and the angle of incidence, θi, equals the angle of reflection, θr. θi = θr 25.2 The Reflection of Light In specular reflection, the reflected rays are parallel to each other. In diffuse reflection, light is reflected in random directions.
