How do you measure how good a sphere is?<br />
• Sphere Multiplier “M” – a measure of the efficiency of<br />
the sphere.<br />
• Calculated from the reflectivity and the port fraction.<br />
• Bigger is better<br />
• M isn’t everything<br />
• Think of the light being diluted across the surface of the sphere<br />
• Light is more concentrated in a smaller sphere<br />
