An interface between layers of contrasting acoustic, optical or electromagnetic properties. Waves of electromagnetism, heat, light and sound can be reflected at such an interface. In seismic data, a r [..]

also reflecter, 1660s, agent noun in Latin form from reflect. As an attachment to a vehicle, etc., from 1909. As a type of telescope, 1767.

An object or device—it can be a piece of white paper or cloth or a foil-wrapped piece of cardboard—that directs light toward or away from a subject. Often used to fill in shadows; also often used for [..]

A layer of material immediately surrounding a reactor core that scatters back (or reflects) into the core many neutrons that would otherwise escape. The returned neutrons can then cause more fissions and improve the neutron economy of the reactor. Common reflector materials are graphite, beryllium, water, and natural uranium.

A type of telescope, also known as a reflecting telescope, that uses one or more polished, curved mirrors to gather light and reflect it to a focal point.

The reflective hood of a light fixture designed to maximize light distribution and reduce hot spots.

n. A mirror, as of metal, for reflecting light, heat, or sound in a particular direction.

A type of telescope, also known as a reflecting telescope, that uses one or more polished, curved mirrors to gather light and reflect it to a focal point.

In an rf antenna, one or more conducting elements or surfaces that reflect incident radiant energy. Note: A reflector may consist of a large surface, as in a dish antenna, or a linear element, as in a Yagi antenna. 2. See mail reflector.

A telescope that uses a mirror - instead of a lens - to collect and focus the light coming from astronomical objects. The term 'reflector' is also used for the mirror itself.

The term sometimes used to refer to the reflective hood of an HID lamp.

Reflectors are supplied with most bicycles with the intent of making the bicycle visible at night when illuminated by the headlights of another vehicle. They shine light back brightly in the direction [..]

A telescope that gathers light with a mirror. The Newtonian reflector, designed by Isaac Newton, has a small second mirror mounted diagonally near the front of the tube to divert the light sideways and out to your eye.

(n) device that reflects radiation(n) optical telescope consisting of a large concave mirror that produces an image that is magnified by the eyepiece

any boundary between two media that causes the reflection of a wave

A surface, usually a rock or SEDIMENT layer, that strongly reflects seismic (sound) waves.

 - A device used to re-direct the luminous flux from a light source by the process of reflection.

A device fitted to buoys and beacons to reflect rays of light.

An opaque material that controls light into a certain direction. A component of PAR lamps, reflectors can be used to intensify light. A mirror is an example of a flat reflector.

An object that reflects light

Controlling light output by means of reflection (mirror).

A surface, usually a rock or sediment layer, that strongly reflects seismic (sound) waves.

One means of using reflected light to brighten a darkened portion of a subject. Widely used in portrait and other types of photography, it is an easy way to add additional light. While highly reflective, light from gold and white reflectors do not change the colour of the primary light

A typically circular device that acts to reflect light back at a subject; reflectors are designed to control contrast and color saturation, and boost luminance levels. There are two types of reflectors - lamp and board. Lamp reflectors fit onto the flash unit and help control the light coming from the lamp. Board reflectors are independent of any l [..]

Reflector can mean one of two things: the piece placed around a monolight to shape the beam (often called a beauty dish), or anything used to throw light back on a subject naturally. The latter can be purchased as collapsible discs shiny cloth discs or items as simple as white poster board can be used.

any substance from which light can be reflected. It also describes a white or gray card used to reflect from a main light source into shadow areas.

A surface used to create reflected light.

A specific type of shiny or white material used to reflect light in a specific direction.

A reflecting surface situated behind the primary radiator, an array of primary radiators or a feed for the purpose of increasing forward and reducing backward radiation from antenna. See also RADAR RE [..]

The reflector style of learner is often a person more introverted in nature; preferring to think, observe and review things in their own mind before acting. They need time to plan, and to consider the [..]

Telescope using curved mirrors to gather light.

A type of telescope, also known as a reflecting telescope, that uses one or more polished, curved mirrors to gather light and reflect it to a focal point.

The parasitic element of an array that causes maximum energy radiation in a direction toward the driven element.

Something which reflects heat, light or sound, especially something having a reflecting surface. *en|refractor ----
