Bending of light occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different density. The two media have different refractive indices so the light will bend. Light may also bend due to immense gravity ie towards a black hole.
Irregular reflection does not bend the light but scatters it as the light is reflected off the many different angles of an uneven surface.
Diffusion is governed by a parabolic differential equation while bending of light is described by the wave equation, including effects of variable physical properties.
In diffused reflection, light is reflected in random directions by a rough or irregular surface. This results in the formation of a blurred or fuzzy image as the reflected light rays are scattered.
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
Regular reflection and diffused reflection both involve the bouncing of light off a surface. In regular reflection, light rays reflect off a smooth surface at the same angle they hit the surface. In diffused reflection, light rays reflect off a rough surface in many different directions, creating a scattered pattern of light.
No, diffused reflection does not mean a failure of the laws of reflection. Diffused reflection occurs when light rays are scattered in different directions upon hitting a rough surface, but the angles of incidence and reflection still obey the law of reflection.
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.
In diffused reflection, light is reflected in random directions by a rough or irregular surface. This results in the formation of a blurred or fuzzy image as the reflected light rays are scattered.
When the rays of light do not follow the laws of reflection, then this type of reflection is called diffused reflection.
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
no It is definitely obeying both the basic laws of reflection. Only that on irregular reflection, all incident rays are at different angles which results in scattered reflected rays of light.
You mean the reflection is so equivalent to mirror reflection. No chance. It is only diffused
Regular reflection and diffused reflection both involve the bouncing of light off a surface. In regular reflection, light rays reflect off a smooth surface at the same angle they hit the surface.

The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection. Unlike smooth surfaces that exhibit specular reflection (reflecting light uniformly in one direction), rough surfaces scatter light in various directions, causing the reflection to be diffused.
No, it means that certain conditions are not fulfilled, so the law simply doesn't apply. Alternately, you can consider diffuse reflection as lots of small pieces of surface, each of which reflects the incoming light ray in a different reflection.
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
