What is it called when light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Scattering of light.
What does it mean when light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle?
reflection
What is a surface from which light will bounce back?
it is the one and only thing that causes the light to bounce back and it is known as the one and only thing.......... Actually not thing but yes............., no................ Leave it. The thing is REFLECTION. Ya, my dear and dearest friends it is REFLECTION.
When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?
When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.
When light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.

What surface would bounce back almost all the light waves that hit it?
A Mirror

Why can't you see your reflection in the pages of a book?
You can't see your reflection in the pages of a book because paper is not a reflective surface like a mirror. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth and shiny surface, but paper absorbs light instead of reflecting it back to your eyes.

Does light bounce back if reflected?
yes it does
How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
What is it called when waves bounce from a surface back toward the source?
reflection
Can you see reflective materials without light why?
no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back
How does light travel when it travels through material that doesn't change?
Light will bounce back to you
