Help for PHOTFIT2_LAMBERT


PURPOSE:

This is the sub-menu associated with the Lambert photometric
function. This function needs just one input parameter (ALBEDO) and its absolute  limits.
If a sulution guess falls out-of-bonds then the attemp will be aborted and 
a new guess attempted.


MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND :

Lambert's law does provide a reasonably good descrition of the reflectance of 
high-albedo surfaces, like snow, but the approximation is poor for dark 
surfaces.

The Lambert's law is based on the empirical observation that the brightnessses 
of many surfaces are nearly independent of the emmission angle and azimuthal 
angle and on the fact that the brightness of any surface must be proportional 
to cos(incidence angle).

bidirectional reflectance [1/str] :

r(i,e,g)=A*cos(i)
