title: Relation between gloss and wetting of a matte surface.
abstract: The angular distribution of light reflected from a blackened aluminum matte plate was studied as a function of illumination for several degrees of castor-oil wetting. The results were compared with a theory based on geometrical optics and simple models of the matte surface. The theory and the experiment agree and provide an understanding of the effect of the underlying surface on its glossiness.
