  2. Haze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haze

    Haze causes issues in the area of terrestrial photography and imaging, where the penetration of large amounts of dense atmosphere may be necessary to image distant subjects. This results in the visual effect of a loss of contrast in the subject, due to the effect of light scattering and reflection through the haze particles. For these reasons ...

  3. Haze (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haze_(optics)

    Reflection Haze is an optical phenomenon usually associated with high gloss surfaces, it is a common surface problem that can affect appearance quality. The reflection from an ideal high gloss surface should be clear and radiant, however, due to scattering at imperfections in the surface caused by microscopic structures or textures (≈ 0.01 mm wavelength) the reflection can appear milky or ...

  4. Coefficient of haze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_haze

    The coefficient of haze (also known as smoke shade) is a measurement of visibility interference in the atmosphere. [1] One way to measure this is to draw about 1000 cubic feet of air sample through an air filter and obtain the radiation intensity through the filter. The coefficient is then calculated based on the absorbance formula

  5. Visibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility

    The international definition of fog is a visibility of less than 1 km (3,300 ft); mist is a visibility of between 1 km (0.62 mi) and 2 km (1.2 mi) and haze from 2 km (1.2 mi) to 5 km (3.1 mi). Fog and mist are generally assumed to be composed principally of water droplets, haze and smoke can be of smaller particle size.

  6. Theatrical smoke and fog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrical_smoke_and_fog

    Theatrical smoke and fog, also known as special effect smoke, fog or haze, is a category of atmospheric effects used in the entertainment industry.The use of fogs can be found throughout motion picture and television productions, live theatre, concerts, at nightclubs and raves, amusement and theme parks and even in video arcades and similar venues.

  7. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    Mie theory is very important in meteorological optics, where diameter-to-wavelength ratios of the order of unity and larger are characteristic for many problems regarding haze and cloud scattering. A further application is in the characterization of particles by optical scattering measurements.

  8. Tholin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tholin

    Mordor Macula, a dark region on Charon's north pole. The region is stained a dark brown by deposits of tholins. Tholins (after the Greek θολός (tholós) "hazy" or "muddy"; [1] from the ancient Greek word meaning "sepia ink") are a wide variety of organic compounds formed by solar ultraviolet or cosmic ray irradiation of simple carbon-containing compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO

  9. Smog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smog

    Smog, or smoke fog, is a type of intense air pollution.The word "smog" was coined in the early 20th century, and is a portmanteau of the words smoke and fog [1] to refer to smoky fog due to its opacity, and odour. [2]
