1. The reflection of light from the surfaces of many kinds of leaves has been measured by means of a direct reading spectrophotometer, the measurements being made normal (that is, at an angle of 90⚬ ...

McPherson (Chelmsford MA USA) is pleased to announce a new vacuum ultraviolet spectral test system VUV-STS. The new system measures reflectance as a function of angle of incidence. It measures optical ...

Introduction Can you imagine a bouncy ball that could bounce back and forth between two walls, infinitely—that is, forever? Wouldn't that be amazing? What if, instead of a ball, light was bouncing ...

Chapter 1: What is light? There was a mystery in that assuming either light is a wave or a particle would result in contradictory phenomena, but today quantum electrodynamics is recognized as the most ...
