When light falls on a plane polished surface,it changes its direction.This is called reflection of light.
A perfect mirror would reflect all incident light.
scattered light
Omnidirectional Radiation. OR Scattering
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
The fraction of the total light incident on a reflecting surface, especially a celestial body, which is reflected back in all directions.
A thing called scattering occurs when particles and gasses in the atmosphere disperse light in all directions
reflection
LIGHT
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
Scattering
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
scattering
They are reflected in many directions.
It is called scattering light if it is in random directions, or refraction if the light changes direction.
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.
Diffuse reflection
It's diffused.
