Reflectance Spectroscopy Principles, Methods, Applications

Reflectance spectroscopy is the investigation of the spectral composi­ tion of surface-reflected radiation with respect to its angularly dependent intensity and the composition of the incident primary radiation. Two limiting cases are important: The first concerns regular (specular) reflection from...
