Calculate the reflectance for specific conditions. For example, say that a polished gold surface subjected to direct radiation with a wavelength of 480 nanometers reflects about 60 percent of that radiation. In this case, the reflectance would be q(y) = (Gr(y)/Gi(y))^2 = .6^2 = .36, or about 36 percent.
axial skeleton - the part of the skeleton that includes the skull and spinal column and sternum and ribs. breastbone, sternum - the flat bone that articulates with the clavicles and the first seven pairs of ribs. skull - the bony skeleton of the head of vertebrates.
appendicular skeleton, the bones of the limbs and their girdles, attached to the axial skeleton. Compare axial skeleton. A term that dignifies the bones of appendages (extremities), including those of the shoulder girdle, upper extremity, pelvis and lower extremities.ppendicular skeleton. the bones of the limbs. axial skeleton. the skull, spine, ribs and sternum. visceral skeleton. 1. the skeleton that forms part of an organ such as the os penis or os cordis. 2. the bony framework that protects the viscera, such as the sternum, ribs or pelvis.
