Is there any exact data on reflection and absorption rates based on wavelength for the common green glass materials ?

I know the rate itself is dependent of the angle, the exact composition of the glass, and for the green glass averages at about 8%, but that is for the full spectrum of light.

I am interested in specific rates at different wavelengths: IR, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, and the UVs. As example, let's assume the standard green glass would reflect 15% green and 3% of blue light -- those are the things of interest.

I cannot currently test this for myself. Is there any research data on this ?

You'd probably have to know the composition of your "standard glass" to get an idea of the spectrum.

Even then it'd be difficult to find any literature specifically related to your glass.

If, for example, your sample is a beer bottle or something like that then the manufacturer would surely have that data but might not make it available.

It is totally dependent on what exactly your "standard green glass" is.

If you can, provide some more details so we might better help you. Even a general idea of the composition would help approximate the spectrum
