  • Reflectance physicalism identifies each hue with a class of reflectances.

    Auditory Perception O'Callaghan, Casey 2009

  • If colors are (at least, partly) objective features of surfaces like their surface spectral reflectances, our visual experiences don't represent colors as such, so we cannot come to conceptualize colors as spectral reflectances on the basis of their “grainless” visual presentations.

    Pain Aydede, Murat 2009

  • Measured reflectances on suitable surfaces are typically within a few percent of laboratory values.

  • Using the ALTA, students themselves can measure the reflectances, i.e., the proportions of incident light that are reflected, from materials of their own choosing.

  • The satellite sensors record spectral reflectances from the Earth's surface, on a grid of approximately 25m x 25m cells or "pixels".
