    By measuring the reflection from thin foils they showed that the effect due to a volume and not a surface effect. [23] When contrasted with the vast number of alpha particles that pass unhindered through a metal foil, this small number of large angle reflections was a strange result [2]: 240 that meant very large forces were involved. [23]

  3. Reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectance

    When reflection occurs from thin layers of material, internal reflection effects can cause the reflectance to vary with surface thickness. Reflectivity is the limit value of reflectance as the sample becomes thick; it is the intrinsic reflectance of the surface, hence irrespective of other parameters such as the reflectance of the rear surface.

  4. Ewald's sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewald's_sphere

    The energy of the waves (electron, neutron or x-ray) depends upon the magnitude of the wavevector, so if there is no change in energy (elastic scattering) these have the same magnitude, that is they must all lie on the Ewald sphere. In the Figure the red dot is the origin for the wavevectors, the black spots are reciprocal lattice points ...

  5. Emissivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissivity

    Reflections (like on the blank end of the can and the countertop) make accurate measurements of reflective surfaces impossible. Temperature measurements Pyrometers and infrared cameras are instruments used to measure the temperature of an object by using its thermal radiation; no actual contact with the object is needed. The calibration of ...

  6. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_photoelectron...

    Under practical conditions, high energy-resolution settings produce peak widths (FWHM) between 0.4 and 0.6 eV for various elements and some compounds. For example, in a spectrum obtained for one minute at 20 eV pass energy using monochromated aluminum K α X-rays, the Ag 3d 5/2 peak for a clean silver film or foil will typically have a FWHM of ...

  7. X-ray reflectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_reflectivity

    Here () is the reflectivity, = ⁡ /, is the X-ray wavelength (e.g. copper's K-alpha peak at 0.154056 nm), is the density deep within the material and is the angle of incidence. The Fresnel reflectivity, R F ( Q ) {\displaystyle R_{F}(Q)} , in the limit of small angles where polarization can be neglected, is given by:

  8. Aluminium foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil

    Aluminium foil (or aluminum foil in American English; occasionally called tin foil) is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves. The foil is pliable and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful.

  9. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

    Reflective foils are fabricated from aluminum foils with a variety of backings such as roofing paper, craft paper, plastic film, polyethylene bubbles, or cardboard. Reflective bubble foil is basically a plastic bubble wrap sheet with a reflective foil layer and belongs to a class of insulation products known as radiant foils.
