A bstract In 1931, Kubelka and Munk worked out the relationship between reflectance and thickness of material for thin, homogeneous layers illuminated diffusely. In the equation expressing this relationship, the hypothetical ideal material is defined by two constants, reflectivity and coefficient of scatter. In the present paper are presented data demonstrating how well the reflectance characteristics of vitreous enamels can be specified by these constants.
