Another example occurs in Astronomy where the Photosphere of a star is defined as the surface where its optical depth is one. This means that each photon emitted at the photosphere suffers an average of one scattering before it reaches you. Note that the optical depth of a given medium will be different for different colors of lights. EXTERNAL LINKS |
