An integrating sphere is coated internally with a material chosen for

  • A.high specular reflectance at every single wavelength measured
  • B.complete absorption of all incident light
  • C.strong fluorescence under ultraviolet illumination
  • D.high and uniform diffuse reflectance across the spectrum

Answer: D

Correct answer: high and uniform diffuse reflectance across the spectrum

The sphere works by multiple diffuse reflections, so the coating must scatter rather than mirror, must reflect nearly all the light so that little is lost in the many bounces, and must do so equally at every wavelength. Any spectral structure in the coating would be multiplied by all those reflections and would colour every reading.
