	PHOTOMETRIC AND OPTICAL UNITS AND DEFINITIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The angle of incidence is the angle between the light ray in medium 1 and and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface or boundary of medium 2.
		All light is subject to the inverse square law which says that the energy is dissipated (spreads out) according to the square of the distance travelled.
		The luminance of a surface is the measure of the light actually emitted per unit area of that surface, the plane of projection being perpendicular to the direction of view.

		Lamberts cosine law has to do with the way in which luminous surface sends off its radiations in various directions I It is a matter of common.
		There is a simple law which is true in the case of bright lights and rapid plates, that by doubling the exposure the same photographic effect is produced as by, increasing the intensity of a source of light twofold, and so far as this law holds it gives us a simple method of comparing magnitudes.
		Or, without deducing any law at all, a series of images may be produced of stars of known brightness and known exposures, and, using this as a scale of reference, the magnitudes of other images may be inferred by interpolation.

		The peak response of the eye shifts from 555 nm to 510 nm as scene luminance is decreased from the photopic region to the scotopic region.
		A consequence of this law is that no matter from what direction you look at a perfectly diffuse reflecting or emitting surface, the luminance on the basis of _projected_ area is the same.
		So if you have a light meter looking at a perfectly diffuse surface, it doesn't matter what the angle between the axis of the light meter and the normal to the surface is as long as all the light meter can see is the surface: in any case the reading will be the same.

		In optical theory, however, it is common assume that the light follows Lambert's law, which says that the light intensity falls off with cos(theta), where theta is the angle off the normal.
		Lambert's law says that an perfectly diffuse surface or extended source reflects or emits light according to a cosine law: the amount of flux emitted per unit surface area is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the direction in which the flux is being emitted and the normal to the emitting surface.
		Lambert's law can be taken as a definition of a perfectly diffuse surface.) A consequence of Lambert's law is that no matter from what direction you look at a perfectly diffuse surface, the luminance on the basis of _projected_ area is the same.

	Lambertian Surface \| Lamberts Cosine Law \| Matte
		A lambertian surface is a surface of perfectly matte properties, which means that it adheres to Lamberts cosine law.
		Lamberts cosine law states that the reflected or transmitted luminous intensity in any direction from an element of a perfectly diffusing surface varies as the cosine of the angle between that direction and the normal vector of the surface.
		As a consequence, the luminance of that surface is the same regardless of the viewing angle.

		And lamberts law is about light intensity varies with direction from point source of light, for example directly opposite source will receive more light rays than to the side of it?
		I think Lamerts law says that Intensity varies with direction, so directly opposte the source will be strongest, gradually reducing, and so the intensity of light scattered from a point on a reflecting surface follows a cosine reationship.
		Lambert's law is that the intensity of a light source varies with direction, directly opposite a source of light, will be the strongest area, the intensity will drop off as you most round a light source that is from a point, not an area (well, im thinking it could be applied to both).

	Optronik
		Lambert's Cosine Law (also known as Lambert's cosine emission law) is the mathematical statement that a radiance of certain idealized optical sources is directly proportional to the cosine of the angle - with respect to the direction of maximum radiance - from which the source is viewed.
		Lamberts cosine law also applies to certain idealized diffuse reflectors or coatings.
		Based upon the principle of multiple diffuse reflection (resulting from the Lambertian coating), the integrating sphere is used to spatially integrate radiant flux, either from an external or an internal source of radiation.

	Exit sign - Patent 4967317
		According to Lambert's law, the luminous intensity in a given direction radiated or reflected by an illuminated surface varies as the cosine of the angle between that direction and the normal to the surface.
		The ability of exit sign 10 to act as a Lambert surface is dependent upon two primary factors: the index of refraction of the sheet material 34, and the location of the filament 17 of bulb 16.
		With respect to the first parameter, it is well known that internal reflection of light in a transparent medium is dependent upon the ratio of the index of refraction of that medium to the index of refraction of the surrounding air.

		An alternate, but less fundamental, explanation of bellows correction is just the inverse square law applied to the exit pupil to film distance.
		Also to contrast: Illumination, E, is for the incident or incoming flux's areal density; luminance, B, is for reflected or outgoing flux's areal intensity.
		A consequence of Lambert's law is that no matter from what direction you look at a perfectly diffuse surface, the luminance on the basis of projected area is the same.
