Abstract
A recording medium determination apparatus includes a light radiation unit which radiates light toward a recording medium; a light receiving unit which receives diffuse reflection light, which is light radiated from the light radiation unit and diffuse reflected by the recording medium; a reflection portion which can reflect transmitted light, which is radiated from the light radiation unit and transmitted through the recording medium, to cause the transmitted light to be incident to the recording medium again; a switching unit which switches a reflectance state such that a reflectance of the reflection portion changes; and a determination unit which determines a thickness of the recording medium on a basis of a value of a ratio between light amounts of a plurality of the diffuse reflection lights which are reflected by the reflection portion in different reflectance states and are received by the light receiving unit.
