Rayleigh criterion
Rayleigh criterion In remote sensing, a method of estimating surface behaviour as either specular or diffuse with regard to a particular wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. A surface is rough if the square root of the mean of the squares of the height of surface irregularities is greater than one-eighth of the wavelength divided by the cosine of the angle of incidence.
