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

If the reflection source is a spot source, modify the source by obstructing it using
a piece if cardboard.
