Optical Properties
Optical Properties: of a material define how it interacts with light. Optical Properties that define the material response to the incident radiation can be described as transmissivity, reflectivity and absorptivity. Every solid material emits a thermal (infrared) radiation. The relative ability of the material to emit radiation is known as emissivity (emittance).
