• The net effect of the phase change is that the reflected ray ``jumps ahead" by half a wave length.
• The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered, because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.
• A phase change is the metamorphosis of a material or mixture from one phase to another.
• Latent heat evolution during phase change is incorporated in the energy equation using the following definition of enthalpy.
• One characteristic of a constant pressure phase change is that the temperature remains constant until change of phase is complete .
