    What is the average of a random hemispherical distribution

    Hello, I'm trying to write a monte carlo simulation for an optical analysis. Half the area of a sphere is within 60 degrees of the poles. Hence, I'm assuming half of randomly directed radiation should fall within 60 degrees of the poles, when radiation is generated at the center of the...

    Hello Physics Forums I need a little help wrapping my head around the concept of lambertian emitters as compared to isotropic emitters. As I understand it a lambertian emitter emits less and less photons as the angle of emission gets further and further away from the surface normal. An...
