• Fresnel equations — The Fresnel equations, deduced by Augustin Jean Fresnel (pronEng|freɪˈnɛl), describe the behaviour of light when moving between media of differing refractive indices. The reflection of light that the equations predict is known as Fresnel… …   Wikipedia

• Reflection loss — In telecommunications, reflection loss occurs on a line which results in part of the energy being reflected back to the source. This can occur: #At a discontinuity or impedance mismatch, e.g. in a transmission line, the ratio of the incident… …   Wikipedia

• Reflection (physics) — Reflection is the change in direction of a wave front at an between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. Law of… …   Wikipedia
