Lambertian reflectance law in optics

Target entity: Lambertian reflectance law in optics
Context triple: [Johann Heinrich Lambert, knownFor, Lambertian reflectance law in optics]

• A. Über die Reflexion des Lichts in einer inhomogenen Schicht
  "Über die Reflexion des Lichts in einer inhomogenen Schicht" is the physics doctoral dissertation of Moritz Schlick, in which he investigates the behavior and reflection of light in non-uniform media.
• B. Kirchhoff diffraction theory
  Kirchhoff diffraction theory is a classical wave optics framework that models light propagation and diffraction by treating wavefronts as superpositions of secondary spherical waves emitted from an aperture.
• 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. Fresnel equations
  The Fresnel equations are fundamental formulas in optics that describe how light is partially reflected and transmitted at the boundary between two media with different refractive indices, depending on polarization and angle of incidence.
• E. Fermat’s principle of least time
  Fermat’s principle of least time is a fundamental variational principle in optics stating that light follows the path that takes the least time, from which many laws of geometrical optics can be derived.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Lambertian reflectance law in optics
Target entity description: 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.
