refraction refraction of light i:angle of incidence r:angle of refraction re·frac·tion (rĭ-frăk′shən) n. 1.The deflection of a wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes obliquely from one medium into another having a different index of refraction. ...
However, this method neglects multiple scattering inhibiting the application of this design method to problems where non-local interactions are key, for example in achieving perfect anomalous reflection25,26 and refraction27. As well as this, the number of design degrees of freedom is reduced. ...
As a result of the index of refraction being wavelength- and, thus, frequency-dependent, the material’s molecular structure also can affect optical performance. Consider the case where the material has a crystalline structure that isanisotropic(directionally dependent). In this case, the material w...
The Usual: I politely request that you quote the exact words you are discussing. I’m tired of people claiming I took a position I’ve never taken. Quote the words so we can all decide who is right. I ask politely, but I get crabby if people don’t follow my polite request. You ...
(3) where ρsρs is the density of the solid (g/cm3), MsMs is the mass of the soil (g), and Gs=(unit weight of soilunit weight of waterGs=(unit weight of soilunit weight of water) is the specific gravity, which is unitless. ...
where C is a constant and ηr(E) is the energy-dependent index of refraction. The behavior of the reflectance at the band gap energy must be considered while calculating the transmission derivative. It can be shown that as E→Eg, the quantities (1 − R(E)) and dR(E)/dE remain fin...
Central to this understanding is the concept of polarization, since it offers potentially significant information useful for a number of applications, for example by providing a means of directly estimating the index of refraction [1]. In the context of hyperspectral imaging, there are a relatively...
