Theory of reflectance and emittance spectroscopy

Abstract

This book presents theoretical models describing scattering and thermal emissions of electromagnetic radiation. The author aims to provide a study of remote sensing of use to physical scientists. The book is divided into four parts covering: the general theory of wave propagation and absorption; the scattering of light by single particles; various types of reflectance and reflectance spectroscopy applications; other aspects of reflectance, including roughness, thermal emission and linear polarization. -S.J.Evans
