Figure 3.2 Reflection, Absorption and Transmission in case <strong>of</strong> radiation falling on a<br />
rough surface<br />
The equation is now given by:<br />
Here `A*' is the apparent absorptance in the material under consideration and<br />
`R*' and `T*' are the apparent reflectance and apparent transmittance respectively. Now<br />
as one can see, it would not be possible to exactly predict the behavior <strong>of</strong> radiation at the<br />
surface <strong>of</strong> the material. Also, as a consequence <strong>of</strong> the roughness the surface area has<br />
increased. Therefore an apparent factor is brought into the picture. As the apparent<br />
absorption increases, the apparent reflection decreases.
