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 does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
smooth surface
What kind of texture reflects light evenly?
a smooth surface
What is a smooth surface that reflects light to form a image?
a mirror
Does light reflect off the surface of metal?
It reflects off the surface of shiny and smooth metals.
Which smooth surfaces reflect light?
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
Light from a smooth surface is what kind of reflection?
Light reflections off of a smooth surface are considered to be spectral. Light reflections off of rough surfaces are considered to be diffuse
Why is water reflective?
The surface tension of the water creates a smooth surface. Light, as well as images captured by the eyes, are reflected on that smooth surface.
What type of reflection occurs when light bounces off of a SMOOTH surface such as a mirror?
Specular reflection occurs when light bounces off of a smooth surface such as a mirror!
What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
What kind of surface of a metal can light reflect off of?
A smooth shiny surface.
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 does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
smooth surface
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
What kind of texture reflects light evenly?
a smooth surface
What is a smooth surface that reflects light to form a image?
a mirror
Does light reflect off the surface of metal?
It reflects off the surface of shiny and smooth metals.
