Refracting of the water particles


Does light reflect off a rough surface?

It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.


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.


Why a rough surface does not form an image?

The light on a rough surface reflects randomly and moves in random directions so therefore the original order has been disrupted so the new image will not resemble anything and is too spread out.


Why don't you see your reflects image when you look at a Rough white surface?

Severe distortion.


What is the difference between a specular and a diffuse reflection?

Specular reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface uniformly in a single direction, like a mirror. Diffuse reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface in many different directions, like a matte surface. Specular reflection creates a clear image, while diffuse reflection scatters light in all directions.


When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?

Bounces off


When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflective light does what producing no image?

because the surface is rough, the waves of light are reflected at different angles, and so r scattered all over the place, hence giving a blurry, or in some cases no image at all


How to make a surface rough yet shine?

A varnish or clear coating may suit.


When the water is rough - why can't you see a clear image?

Light rays are refracted and reflected through and from rough water as though from multiple microcosms of water with multiple and complex surfaces. The rays are refracted and reflected randomly in many directions causing images to distort chaotically and to appear unclear or unrecognizable. The distortion of the images can be so severe that only the rough surface of the water is noticeable.


Why is it difficult to see a clear picture on the surface of a lake with rough water?

in rough water there is much vibration so it is constantly moving and so if it is moving the vibration is not smooth but rough and on rough surfaces the reflection is not clear because the vibration is constantly moving so it is blurry. i might be wrong but i feel 9o percent right
