diffuse reflectance symbol: R

Synonyms: remission fraction, remittance
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08235
Diffuse reflected (remitted) radiant power (Prem) divided by incident radiant power (P0). R=Prem/P0.
Notes:
  1. The sum of remittance, transmittance, and absorptance equals one.
  2. Some authors distinguish between remittance and diffuse reflectance by excluding specular reflection in the latter.
