Optical properties of Iraqi waters

الملخص EN

The optical properties of Tigris, Euphrates, and Shat al Arab studied in this research.

The optical properties of water studied in this research are absorption, transmission, reflection, refractive index, absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and the attenuation of optical beam passing through the water samples.

The optical properties were measured in the visible range (470-600) nm by using the spectrophotometer.

Results of research show that there are differences in the values between the samples and there are two area of maximum and two area of minimum in all properties value.
