Definition of reflectance in English:
reflectance
noun rɪˈflɛkt(ə)nsrəˈflɛktəns
Physics The measure of the proportion of light or other radiation striking a surface which is reflected off it.
Example sentencesExamples
- Even the highest measured reflectances at blue-green wavelength were five times too low.
- Chroma, a measure of spectral purity, is the ratio of the total reflectance in the range of interest and the total reflectance of the entire spectrum.
- Instead it measured the diffuse reflectance, which is relatively independent of the angles of illumination and measurement.
- The peculiar reflectance of infrared radiation by plants forms the main source of remotely sensed information about the biosphere on land.
- So, given the measured reflectance and the predicted reflectance, one can calculate the contrasts of the collected species in the water.
