LIGHT TRANSMISSION THROUGH A FOG-OIL SMOKE LAYER WITH AN ABSORBING OR PARTIALLY REFLECTING BOUNDARY
Abstract
Comparison is made between measurements of the light flux at the boundary of a layer of polydisperse fog-oil smoke, due to radiation from a point source outside the layer, and predicted values based on the Six Flux method of calculating light scattering by small particles. Agreement is found when the boundary is absorbing (albedo 0.5) the experiments show a greater increase in flux, due to reflection, than the theory predicts. Again contrary to the theory the flux increase becomes greater as the angle of incidence is reduced.
