Inhaltsangabe

Four physicists at the University of Florence summarize the theory of light propagation through diffusive media, and enclose software on the disk that serves as a computational tool giving users an interactive approach to understanding the link between theory and real calculations. They show how the propagation of light through media with scattering and absorption properties can be accurately described with the radiative transfer equation, for which analytical solutions are not available for any geometries of practical interest. But fear not: by making some simplifying assumptions, the radiative transfer equation can yield the diffusion equation, an approximation that can be tested against reference figures. Their examples are from biological tissue, but the process can also be used to study diffusive media in plastics and pharmaceuticals. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
