-
A.
Lambertian reflectance law in optics
chosen
The Lambertian reflectance law in optics describes an ideal diffuse surface that appears equally bright from all viewing angles because its apparent brightness is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the incident light and the surface normal.
-
B.
Planck radiation law
Planck radiation law is a fundamental formula in quantum physics that describes the spectral distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium.
-
C.
Snell’s law of refraction
Snell’s law of refraction is a fundamental principle in optics that relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of two media, governing how light bends when passing between them.
-
D.
Milne–Eddington approximation
The Milne–Eddington approximation is a simplified model of stellar atmospheres that assumes constant physical properties with depth to make the radiative transfer equations analytically tractable.
-
E.
Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation
Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics stating that, for a body in thermal equilibrium, its emissivity equals its absorptivity at each wavelength.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
