It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
When light hits an irregular surface, it scatters in different directions due to the uneven geometry of the surface. This scattering is known as diffuse reflection, which causes the light to be reflected in a non-uniform manner, unlike in the case of a smooth surface where light reflects uniformly.
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
Yes, when light hits a rough surface and is reflected in many different directions, it is called diffuse reflection. This type of reflection occurs when the surface is not smooth and causes the light to scatter.
When light from a torch hits a mirror, most of the light gets reflected back in a predictable manner due to the smooth surface of the mirror. The angle of incidence (angle at which the light hits the mirror) equals the angle of reflection (angle at which the light bounces off the mirror). This reflection of light allows us to see our reflection in the mirror.
When light strikes a smooth surface, it gets reflected in a single direction based on the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This phenomenon is what causes us to see our reflection in mirrors.
When light strikes a smooth surface, it undergoes regular reflection, also known as specular reflection. This means that the angle at which the light hits the surface is equal to the angle at which it is reflected, resulting in a clear and well-defined reflection.
When light encounters a smooth surface, it undergoes one of two processes: reflection or refraction. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface at the same angle it hit it. Refraction occurs when light passes through the surface, causing it to change speed and bend. Both processes are influenced by the properties of the material and the angle at which the light hits the surface.
No,its called refraction. this actually happens when the light passes from one medium to another and thus the velocity of light changes, which enable the light to bend.
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
A mirror reflects almost all of the light that hits it, depending on the material and surface quality. The smooth surface of a mirror allows light to bounce off at the same angle it hits it, leading to a clear reflection.
