Albedo Calculation

Introduction to Albedo Calculation

Albedo is the measure of the reflectivity of a surface. It is expressed as the ratio of reflected radiation to incident radiation. The formula for albedo is given by A = 1 - r, where A is the albedo and r is the reflection coefficient.

Parameter usage:

• r = reflection coefficient of the surface

Output:

• A = albedo of the surface

Data validation

The reflection coefficient should be a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive).

Summary

This calculator determines the albedo of a surface based on its reflection coefficient, providing insight into the surface's reflectivity and thermal properties.
