optical properties measurement

Optical properties measurement involves analyzing how a material interacts with light, such as how much light it absorbs, transmits, reflects, or refracts. Scientists use specialized instruments to shine light at different wavelengths onto the material and then measure the resulting light behavior. This helps determine important characteristics like transparency, color, and thickness. These measurements are essential in applications like manufacturing lenses, coatings, and display screens, ensuring materials meet specific optical standards for performance and quality.
