x-ray reflection
21Angle of total reflection — Reflection Re*flec tion (r?*fl?k sh?n), n. [L. reflexio: cf. F. r[ e]flexion. See {Riflect}.] [Written also {reflexion}.] 1. The act of reflecting, or turning or sending back, or the state of being reflected. Specifically: (a) The return of rays …
22X-ray crystallography — can locate every atom in a zeolite, an aluminosilicate with many important applications, such as water purification. X ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X rays strikes a… …
23Total internal reflection — The larger the angle to the normal, the smaller is the fraction of light transmitted, until the angle when total internal reflection (blue line) occurs. (The color of the rays is to help distinguish the rays, and is not meant to indicate any… …
24Diffuse reflection — For reflection of charged particles, see Scattering from rough surfaces. Diffuse and specular reflection from a glossy surface[1] Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many …
25Specular reflection — is the perfect, mirror like reflection of light (or sometimes other kinds of wave) from a surface, in which light from a single incoming direction (a ray) is reflected into a single outgoing direction. Such behavior is described by the law of… …
26total internal reflection — Optics. See total reflection. * * * Complete reflection of a ray of light in a medium such as water or glass, from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium. It occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than a certain limiting angle,… …
27Distributed ray tracing — Distributed ray tracing, also called distribution ray tracing and stochastic ray tracing, is a refinement of ray tracing that allows for the rendering of soft phenomena. Conventional ray tracing uses single rays to sample many different domains.… …
28X-ray astronomy — X rays start at 0.008 nm and extend across the electromagnetic spectrum to 8 nm, over which the Earth s atmosphere is opaque. X ray astronomy is an observational branch of astronomy which deals with the study of X ray observation and detection… …
29David Ray Griffin — For other people named David Griffin, see David Griffin (disambiguation). David Ray Griffin Full name David Ray Griffin Born 1939 Era 20th century philosophy …
30law of reflection — a statement in optics: when light falls upon a plane surface it is so reflected that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence and that the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal ray all lie in the plane of incidence * * * the… …
