Comment on Spectral Ray Tracingparent

It's the same thing! What are you trying to do with it?

One thing you'll run into is that there isn't a clear frequency response curve for non-visible, so you need to invent your own frequency to RGB function (false color).

Another thing is that radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible, so diffractive effects tend to be a lot more important, and ray tracing (spectral or otherwise) doesn't do this well. Modeling diffraction is typically done using something like FDTD.
