We have simulated the reflection on cold matter in a variety of situations to determine which informations can actually be inferred from observations. We modelled a semi-infinite plane parallel medium of solar abundance matter, semi-isotropically illuminated by a X/γ ray source. The spectra are calculated from a Monte-Carlo method without any approximation in the cross-sections. Θ is the angle over which the reflecting matter is seen (90°=face-on), Θ=all means a spatially integrated spectrum. Fref is the ratio of the reflected over direct component.
