Generally Two types.
- Specular: Smooth surfaces direct reflected light at opposite angle. A mirror is a good example of specular reflection.
- Diffused: Rough surfaces scatter light in all directions. Matt white surfaces are examples.
There are other surfaces that combine both types of reflection.

What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
Does earth reflected light on moon is same cool as moon reflected light?
no
What is The moons light is really reflected light from?
The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
Does transmitted and reflected mean the same thing?
No, in the context of light, transmitted and reflected are not the same. Transmitted light is when light passes through a material, while reflected light is when light bounces off a surface.
How is light refracted and reflected?
Light is perfectly reflected from a surface when the roughness of the surface is small compared to the wavelength of the light. Otherwise the reflection is diffuse.Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index. One in which the light travels at a different speed than in vacuo.
What is the difference between light and reflected light?
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off
