What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
What is reflection regular?
Regular reflection means the incident rays parallel to each other fall on plane or smooth surface and reflects back equal to the angle of incidence is called regular reflection.
Which phenomenon occurs when light falls on a smooth mirror?
Specular Reflection
What type of reflection reflects off a smooth surface?
its the very normal reflection in which the angle of i and r are the same
What occurs when light hits a irregular 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 happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
What occurs when light is reflected in one direction from a smooth surface?
Specular reflection
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.
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
What is reflection regular?
Regular reflection means the incident rays parallel to each other fall on plane or smooth surface and reflects back equal to the angle of incidence is called regular reflection.
What kind of reflection has a smooth surface?
A reflection does not have any surface.A reflection does not have any surface.A reflection does not have any surface.A reflection does not have any surface.
When does reflection work best?
Reflection works best if it is on a smooth shiny surface.
What occurs when light waves bounce off an object?
Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection.
Which phenomenon occurs when light falls on a smooth mirror?
Specular Reflection
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object
