Refraction of radiation

Angstrom, A A unit of length equal to 1 X 10 meter. Angular dispersion, dr/dA A measure of the change in the angle of reflection or refraction of radiation by a prism or grating as a function of wavelength.

Refraction of radiation can also occur in fluidic regions with refractive index gradients because optical artefacts analogous to fluidic lenses are established. Regardless of the process (reflection or refraction) and the optical artefact (mirror or lens) involved, the deflection of radiation inside a fluidic environment can result in external distortions, characterised by the Schlieren effect. 

Internal radiation through the crystal depends largely on the absorption coefficient and the refraction index. The first parameter determines the radiative heat absorption and emission inside the crystal, while the second determines reflection and refraction of radiation at the crystal side surface. The absorption coefficient of a melt is generally much greater than that of a crystal. Therefore, radiation is crucial in heat removal from the melt through the crystal/melt interface RTH within the crystal can even lead to instability of the crystallization front [5]. The refraction...

Source sampling of particulates requites isokinetic removal of a composite sample from the stack or vent effluent to determine representative emission rates. Samples are coUected either extractively or using an in-stack filter EPA Method 5 is representative of extractive sampling, EPA Method 17 of in-stack filtration. Other means of source sampling have been used, but they have been largely supplanted by EPA methods. Continuous in-stack monitors of opacity utilize attenuation of radiation across the effluent. Opacity measurements are affected by the particle size, shape, size distribution, refractive index, and the wavelength of the radiation (25,26). 

The most important situation occurs when a film of different optical properties is formed at the electrode surface. In this case, theory predicts that the R value can be changed, even for non-absorbing films, as a result of existence of a third phase with different refractive index interspaced between the electrode and electrolyte. Therefore, the entire observed decrease in reflectivity R is not necessarily caused by the absorption of radiation in the film. This approximation, is, however, reasonably acceptable when the film is supported by a highly reflective phase, such as smooth metal electrode. 

Theory The initial understanding of the refraction of light dates back to Maxwell s study of electromagnetic radiation. Ernst Abbe invented the first commercial refractometer in 1889 and many refractometers still use essentially the same design. 

Work on the structure of crystals and fibers was not the only way in which Mark made use of x-rays. With several collaborators, he reported the results of a number of significant investigations of the physics of x-rays in 1926 and 1927. With Ehrenberg he reported studies of the index of refraction of x-rays, and with Leo Szilard studies verifying the linear polarization of x-rays scattered from electrons at 90. An investigation of the width of x-ray lines was carried out by Mark and Ehrenberg, and Mark and Kallmann reported work on the properties of Compton-scattered x-radiation and on the theory of the dispersion and scattering of x-rays.

REFRACTIVE INDEX. The phase velocity of radiation in tree space divided by the phase velocity of the same radiation in a specified medium. Because of the Snell law (see also Refraction) the refractive index may also be defined as the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to tile sine of the angle of refraction.
