| Popis: | The polarized and depolarized components of backscattered laser light are examined photographically. Effects of surface roughness and angle of incidence are determined by measuring contrasts and dynamic range of the laser imagery. Three effective scattering surfaces are deduced from Fung’s scatter theory to explain the results. |
