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.
Â» Axial Strain. An axial bar of length L, and cross-sectional area A, subjected to tensile force P, elongates by an amount, D. The change in length divided by the initial length is termed ENGINEERING STRAIN (or simply strain).
