Reflectance Spectroscopy

Reflectance Spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze how materials reflect light across different wavelengths. By shining light on a surface and measuring the amount of light reflected at each wavelength, scientists can identify the material's composition, structure, and properties. This method helps in applications like remote sensing, quality control, and environmental monitoring by providing detailed information about materials without needing to alter or damage them. Essentially, it’s about understanding what a material is made of based on how it reflects light at different energies.
