Scattering
This is known as diffuse reflection, where light is scattered in different directions upon hitting a rough surface. Unlike specular reflection, which occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface at a particular angle, diffuse reflection results in a lack of a clear reflection of light. This phenomenon is common in surfaces like paper, cloth, or rough walls.
scattering
yes it does, light travels in all directions.
diffuse reflection
with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction
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.
called Tyndall effect. It occurs when light passes through a medium containing small particles that scatter the light, making the beam visible. The scattered light is mainly due to the reflection and refraction of light by the particles in the medium.
