Reflektanssi
Reflektanssi is a Finnish word that translates to "reflectance" in English, referring to the proportion of incident light or other electromagnetic radiation that is reflected by a surface. In the context of materials science and optics, reflectance describes how much light a surface bounces back rather than absorbing or transmitting it. The term is also used in various scientific and engineering fields to quantify how reflective a material is under specific conditions.
In Finland, the concept of *reflektanssi* is particularly relevant in discussions about urban planning, sustainability, and
The measurement of reflectance is typically expressed as a percentage, where 0% indicates complete absorption and
In environmental studies, *reflektanssi* plays a role in assessing land cover changes, such as deforestation or
The term is also used in photography and cinematography, where reflective surfaces influence lighting and composition.
