Light diffusion occurs when light waves encounter small particles or irregular surfaces, causing the light to scatter in multiple directions. This scattering can be due to various factors, such as the texture of a material, the presence of aerosols in the atmosphere, or the size and shape of particles in a medium. As a result, the light becomes less focused and more uniformly distributed, leading to softer and more even illumination. This phenomenon is essential in various applications, including Photography, lighting design, and optical devices.
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
During diffusion, the random motion of atoms causes them to spread out gradually.

repolarization
Light gets scattered and absorbed by the water droplets in the fog, leading to diffusion and reduced visibility. This scattering of light causes the fog to appear opaque or thick, making objects appear blurred or dimmed.

Diffusion.
Light rays are scattered when they encounter particles or objects that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. This interaction causes the light to change direction and spread out, giving rise to phenomena such as diffusion or reflection. Scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky and the white appearance of clouds.

The concentration gradient is what causes molecules to diffuse.
