What is Radiation?

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. This energy has an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it, and has wave-like properties. You could also call radiation “electromagnetic waves”.

What is Reflectivity?

A measure of the ability of a surface to reflect radiation, equal to the reflectance of a layer of material sufficiently thick for the reflectance not to depend on the thickness.

How to Calculate Diffuse Radiosity?

Diffuse Radiosity calculator uses Diffuse Radiosity = ((Emissivity*Emissive Power of Blackbody)+(Diffuse Component of Reflectivity*Irradiation)) to calculate the Diffuse Radiosity, The Diffuse Radiosity formula is defined as the function of Emissivity, emissive power of blackbody, Diffuse Component of reflectivity and irradiation. Reflection off of smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water leads to a type of reflection known as specular reflection. Reflection off of rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, and the asphalt roadway leads to a type of reflection known as diffuse reflection. Whether the surface is microscopically rough or smooth has a tremendous impact upon the subsequent reflection of a beam of light. Diffuse Radiosity is denoted by J_D symbol.
