Light rays reflecting off a smooth surface reflect?

How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?

When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.


Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?

Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.


What happens when light travel through smooth and rough surfaces?

Parallel light rays which fall on a smooth surface(a mirror) are reflected as parallel rays. This is called REGULAR REFLECTION. Whereas, parallel rays which fall on an irregular surface(The ground) are reflected in different directions. This is called irregular reflection.


What does it mean when light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle?

reflection


When all the light rays are reflected at the same angle because of a smooth surface you see?

A reflection


What happens when light rays hit a smooth surface?

It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.


What happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?

It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.


What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?

Regular reflection happens.


What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?

The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.


In which direction do light rays reflecting off a smooth surface reflect?

Newton: " the angle of incidence equals the angle of refraction."


How is a reflection formed?

a reflection is formed when rays of light bounces off an object onto a smooth shiny surface (such that light rays are reflected off at the same angles) and reflects off it into our eyes.when the surface is rough there wouldn't be a reflection as lights rays from an object is reflected off the rough surface at different angles and does not enter our eyes
