The role that the transverse coherent extent of a neutron packet wavefunction plays in the analysis of specular neutron reflectivity is examined both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown how, in practice, the transverse coherent extent of an individual neutron packet wavefront can be measured and distinguished from the effects of geometrical angular divergence for a beam composed of a collection of such independent packets.
