question on mathematical model of reflection
Hello :

Have a question regarding the mathematical model of reflective curve where could i find information on it ? (pdf , webpages , ebooks ,...etc )

Other than Wikipedia

What is a "reflective curve"?
What is the application?
Are you talking about curved mirrors, as used in telescopes or microwave dishes?

Is one referring to a 'reflectance curve', or reflectance of the surface of a material, as in its effectiveness in reflecting radiant energy?

If so, https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/spectral-reflectance

or something like - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0034425782900578

or try - Journal of the Optical Society of America - e.g., https://opg.optica.org/josa/abstract.cfm?uri=josa-35-9-597

or perhaps - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.162368999
 
no , i was talking about reflective curve a shape that reflect optical waves into some point reluctance was not part of my question , it is related to math and mathematical modeling i am reviewing math books now and found an exercise around this topic
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
