SPECTROSCOPIC_DISCUSSION:
Spectrum measured on upper surface of shingle (side that would be exposed to the weather had this single been installed on a roof). The spectrum has a strong absorption edge centered at 0.38 microns. There are two absorptions in the visible at 0.4677 and 0.6047 microns that create a peak in reflectance at 0.53 microns. The spectrum peaks at about 0.75 microns and then ramps toward lower reflectance at longer wavelengths. There is a weak absorption at 1.4153 microns. An absorption at 2.2152 microns resembles that of montmorillonite or muscovite and is likely due to crushed fine aggregate that coats the top of the shingle. Bands at 2.3504 and 2.4581 microns may also be due to the crushed aggregate coating.
