A rough surface reflects light in many directions.?
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.
Can mirrors reflect light?
Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.
When sunlight strikes an object and the light is sent in all directions the light is said to be?
Refracted
What light passes through horizontal polarizer?
Light that is polarized to be horizontal passes through horizontal polarizers. This separates it from the other directions of light, since normal white is not polarized and is in all directions.
Why can you see objects in a mirror?
Because a mirror is completely flat. This means that light rays bounce off all in the same direction. If some thing is not completely flat then the light rays will bounce off in all different directions. I know that that sounds complicated but it's a hard thing to explain without using all the scientific jargon. Ok... for example, you know those wierd mirrors you get a fairgrounds where they make you look really thin, fat, short, or tall? Well, they are very flat, but curved. It rearranges the pattern of light bouncing of whatever you are looking at in it so that what you see is distorted. On a normal mirror, it is the same but the pattern is reflected back off in exactly the same way it was reflected on so you see the same thing just in reverse. I hope that answered your question without too much confusion. :)

Why does a light bulb shine light in more directions than a flashlight?
A light bulb and a flashlight are the same basically. However if you`ve ever looked at the front of a flashlight ( dont do this when its on) you will see that the front is mirrored. So a does actually shine light in all directions but the mirrors reflect the light so as to send it forward where as the light from a light bulb is unobstructed.
If white things reflect all colors of light then why aren't they mirrors?
The difference is that a mirror has to be VERY smooth, so that the image doesn't get all scrambled as it is reflected. When light is reflected off of a white object, it all goes in random directions.
What is reflecting light in all directions called?
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
Can mirrors reflect light?
Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.
When backing what is the best definition of the big piucture?
Visibility from all directions. This can best be achieved by looking in all directions before backing and then checking your mirrors on each side of the vehicle. Better view is obtained when using "spot" mirrors but one has to remember that images are closer than they appear in those smaller concave mirrors.
What does a room made of all mirrors reflect?
Nothing ,if it is made of mirrors there would be no light to reflect !
Reflection of the light in all directions is called?
LIGHT
Why can't see your reflection on paper?
You can't see your reflection on a piece of paper because on mirror, the light rays bounce off at a perfect angle, in a perfectly straight line. However, on a piece of paper, the light rays bounce off in all different directions, at different angles so your eyes can't detect a perfect reflection.

What is the reflection of of light in all directions?
Scattering
Why would your electric mirrors work fine in all four directions until you drive 200 miles in a snow storm and then suddenly only move in two directions?
sounds like you mirrors have a build up of ice on them ,not allowing them to move in all directios and why would you drive 200 miles in a snow storm anyway
