Any of the metals of group II of the periodic table whose oxides are the alkaline earths.

OBS

Calcium, barium, strontium, and radium are the metals which correspond to Group II A of the Periodic Table; they are white, and differ by shade of color or casts, they are malleable, extrudable, and machinable, and may be made into rods, wire, or plate.

French

Les métaux alcalinoterreux sont ainsi nommés parce que leurs oxydes (chaux, strontiane, baryte) étaient autrefois désignés sous le nom de terres, et parce qu'ils possèdent des propriétés chimiques analogues à celles des alcalis. Ce sont des éléments électropositifs bivalents qui figurent dans la deuxième colonne de la classification périodique; [...]

ISO/IEC standard entry number
DEF

ratio of the reflected radiant or luminous flux to the incident flux in incident radiation of given spectral composition, polarization and geometrical distribution [IEC 50 (845), 845-04-58]

OBS

Reflectance (sometimes in AIDC techniques called reflectance factor) is measured on a scale of 0 to 1, at a wavelength or bandwidth of light (spectral response) specified in the particular application specification.

OBS

Barium sulphate or magnesium oxide are used as ’near perfect’ reference white standards(a perfect standard of pure white would have a reflectance of 1, 00 at any wavelength of light). The absence of any light in a vacuum is used as reference black standard.

OBS

Samples (such as substrates, inks, etc.) are tested against the standards under similar illumination.

OBS
