We developed a model for light reflectance from particle media, considering particle properties and light scattering. This model helps predict how particle concentration and absorption affect overall reflectance for various applications.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Materials Science
  • Physics

Background:

  • Understanding light-matter interactions is crucial in materials science.
  • Modeling reflectance properties of particle-laden media is complex due to scattering and absorption.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the nuances of spherical, absorbing particles in binders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel model for predicting the reflectance of particle media.
  • To describe light scattering using geometrical optics for spherical, absorbing particles.
  • To investigate the influence of particle properties and concentration on medium reflectance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 3D geometrical model for light scattering based on geometrical optics.
  • Calculated single-particle backscattering as a function of absorbance and refractive index.
