Since we have assumed the paint is homogeneous, the scattering coefficient S is<br />

c<strong>on</strong>stant throughout the material <strong>and</strong> can be brought outside the integral <strong>on</strong> the<br />

right h<strong>and</strong> side. Our goal is to find the value of the change in r as the thickness<br />

varies from zero to some thickness x. At a thickness of zero, the reflectance is<br />

simply the reflectance of the substrate R0. At thickness x, the reflectance is some<br />

Rx. Hence, we are interested in evaluating the integral <strong>on</strong> the left-h<strong>and</strong> side of<br />

Equati<strong>on</strong> A.8 over the range R0 to Rx. To simplify the integral, we factor the<br />

integral by writing b = √ a 2 − 1 <strong>and</strong> integrate via partial fracti<strong>on</strong>s:<br />
