Difference between Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) and Reflection (physics)

Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) vs. Reflection (physics)

In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is the way in which the energy of a photon is taken up by matter, typically the electrons of an atom. Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.

Similarities between Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) and Reflection (physics)

Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) and Reflection (physics) have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Electromagnetic radiation, Energy, Light, Refraction, Refractive index, Skin effect, X-ray.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Refractive index

In optics, the refractive index or index of refraction of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium.

Skin effect

Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor, and decreases with greater depths in the conductor.
