The densitometer uses a light bulb. When turned on the bulb emits light that passes thru a filter placed upon a spot of color. The current is known to light the bulb. When the densitometer is used the light is energized over a patch of color, the light passes thru the color to the base material and is reflected back thru the lense to a sensor that converts the light to eletrical current. The densitomiter measures the difference in current from the output of the light and the return and computes a value that becomes the density value

What are the types of reflection?

There's specular reflection, which is the reflection from a surface made of a non-absorbing, non-porous material. Conceptually, this is the type of reflection you get from mirrors and glass and other shiny things.Then there's diffuse reflection, which is the reflection from a surface made of a porous material. The incident light is able to penetrate the surface of a porous material where it then scatters around the material's structural lattice until it finally reflects back out at some random angle. Conceptually, this is the type of reflection that happens on everything but SUPER shiny surfaces. Even mirrors and glass undergo some diffuse reflection.Regular Reflection and Diffuse Reflection.


Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?

The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.


What are the properties of refletion?

Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a surface. It follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Reflection can produce a clear image in a mirror or a shiny surface.


What is the element that reflects?

The element that reflects light is called a mirror. Mirrors work by reflecting light rays in a way that preserves the image's details and colors, creating a reflection of objects in front of them. The smoother the surface of the mirror, the clearer the reflection will be.


What happens when light strikes a smooth surface?

When light strikes a smooth surface, it gets reflected in a single direction based on the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This phenomenon is what causes us to see our reflection in mirrors.
