... some surfaces or objects will reflect much of the in-coming radiation while other surfaces will absorb most of the in-coming radiation. It is these differences in reflectivity that allow us to distinguish different features or conditions in remote sensing imagery. The reflectivity of a surface can be measured for a specific wavelength or for the entire electromagnetic spectrum. 5, record 1, English, - radar%20reflectivity
