Visible Light Reflection Process should be a sub class of a different process.

[Ant024]

We have Electromagnetic Wave Process and Frequency which are used to describe all forms of light, whether it is visible or invisible. To remain consistent, shouldn't Electromagnetic Wave Reflection Process have been the parent class of the Visible Light Reflection Process? It would be the reflection of all forms of light. Visible Light Reflection Process would be a sub class of this new class.

Electromagnetic Wave Reflection Process - A Wave Process in which an Electromagnetic Wave with a frequency is reflected off a portion of matter.

What are your thoughts on this?

I agree that there needs to be the more general class of just an EMR waves to build these kinds or terms, along with having an ability to assign a wavelength region to identify a band of interest. The band needs terms for the beginning and ending cutoff frequencies/wavelengths (full width at half maximum is common), center wavelength, etc. A band needs a label (to address visible, near infrared, MWIR, etc.) then needs to have parameters for describing spectrally dependent terms, as things like reflection, emissivity, etc. vary by wavelength. To accurately describe a single EMR wave, in addition to frequency (or wavelength), it should have the ability to assign an amplitude and a phase value to it.
