32.2.1 Finding the emissivity of a sample
32.2.1.1 Step 1: Determining reflected apparent temperature
Use one of the following two methods to determine reflected apparent temperature:
32.2.1.1.1 Method 1: Direct method
Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection angle (a
= b).
