- Reflectance – Wikipedia
- This Wikipedia page provides comprehensive information about reflectance, which is the fraction of incident light or radiation that is reflected by a material. It covers the principles of reflectance, its measurement, and various applications in different fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering[1].
- Reflection (physics) – Wikipedia
- While this page is not directly about “Reflectance,” it provides detailed information about the reflection of light in physics, including specular and diffuse reflection, laws of reflection, and various applications of reflection in different domains such as acoustics, geology, and electromagnetic waves[2].
- Attenuated total reflectance – Wikipedia
- This Wikipedia article focuses on attenuated total reflectance (ATR), a sampling technique used in conjunction with infrared spectroscopy. It explains the principles of ATR, its applications, and the technical aspects of its implementation in spectroscopic analysis[3].
- Reflective practice – Wikipedia
- This page discusses reflective practice, which is the ability to reflect on one’s actions critically. It covers the different levels of reflection and its application in various professions, such as nursing, education, and environmental studies[4].
- Reflective writing – Wikipedia
- This Wikipedia article is about reflective writing in academia. It describes the characteristics of reflective writing, its use in academic settings, and the analytical practice of incorporating personal reflection into academic work[5].
These Wikipedia pages cover a wide range of topics related to reflectance, reflection, and reflective practices in different fields.

The reflectance of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in reflecting radiant energy. It is the fraction of incident electromagnetic power that is reflected at the boundary. Reflectance is a component of the response of the electronic structure of the material to the electromagnetic field of light, and is in general a function of the frequency, or wavelength, of the light, its polarization, and the angle of incidence. The dependence of reflectance on the wavelength is called a reflectance spectrum or spectral reflectance curve.
