Sentences with phrase «function of wavelength»

The rate of absorption is a very intricately varying function of the wavelength of the light.

The coating is assumed to be gray (absorption and scattering coefficients are not function of wavelength).

We report the results of simulations using a coupled ocean - atmosphere vector radiative transfer code (NASA GISS) to obtain the polarized reflectance for various water compositions typical for coastal zones, as function of wavelength and sun / sensor geometry.

Measurements and characterization of the shear layer and cavity seeing, as well as image quality evaluation as a function of wavelength have also been performed.

Detection techniques and instrumentation will be described as a function of wavelength, including the entire particle and electromagnetic spectrum: neutrino astronomy, gravitational waves, high - energy (gamma - rays and X-rays), UV - optical, near infrared and radio astronomy.

The observer will of course see Planck radiation emanating from the back wall of the cavity by the Planck function B (T), which gives the distribution of energy flux as a function of wavelength (or frequency).

The important point is that thermodynamics considerations allow us to see that absorptivity = emissivity (both as a function of wavelength), and experimental considerations allow us to extend the results to non-equilibrium conditions.
