  1. Lambert’s law is related to
    1. Reflection
    2. Refraction
    3. Interference
    4. Illumination
Correct Option: D

In optics, Lambert’s cosine law says that the radiant intensity or luminous intensity observed from an ideal diffusely reflecting surface or ideal diffuse radiator is directly proportional to the cosine of the angle between the observer’s line of sight and the surface normal. The law is also known as the cosine emission law or Lambert’s emission law. A surface which obeys Lambert’s law is said to be Lambertian, and exhibits Lambertian reflectance. Such a surface has the same radiance when viewed from any angle. This means, for example, that to the human eye it has the same apparent brightness (or luminance).
