Reflectivity or reflectance is the fraction of incident electromagnetic power that is reflected at an interface, in contrast to the reflection coefficient, which is the ratio of the reflected to incident electric field. == Reflectance == The reflectance or reflectivity is the square of the magnitude of the reflection coefficient.
