La réflexion dite vitreuse se produit à la frontière de deux milieux diélectriques (l'un pouvant être remplacé par le vide). Le facteur de réflexion dépend des indices des deux milieux, de l'angle d'incidence et de l'état de polarisation de la lumière. 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9flexion%20vitreuse
