Ciambridge University Press, 1993 - 455 pages
This book is aimed at those persons who wish to use reflectance and emittance as quantitative tools to measure the properties ol surfaces and materials Although it is intended primarily tor use in the interpretation of remote observations of the surfaces of the earth and other planets, it will also be useful to chemists, physicists, geologists, engineers, and others who deal with particulate media
Topics include propagation and absorption of light in continuous media, reflection by smooth surfaces, scattering by spheres and irregular particles, reflectance and emissivities of particulate matter, reflectance and emittance spectroscopy, and the polarization of light.
