To determine how effectively the Kubelka-Munk optical constants specify the light-scattering properties of common commercial materials.
Evaluated the mathematical relationship between diffuse reflectance and layer thickness established by Kubelka and Munk.
Applied the formulation using reflectivity and coefficient of scatter across diverse commercial samples including vitreous enamel, dental silicate cement, cold-water paint, and paper.
Demonstrated that commercial light-scattering materials can be quantitatively defined by their reflectivity and scattering coefficient constants.
Showed strong agreement between theoretical diffuse reflectance predictions and observed optical behavior across vitreous enamel, dental silicate cement, cold-water paint, and paper.
