Does diffused reflection mean failure of the laws of reflection?

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.


Does diffused reflection mean the faliure of the laws of reflection?

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.


What does deffuse reflection mean?

Diffuse reflection occurs when light is reflected in many directions due to a rough or irregular surface, such as a piece of paper or a wall. This type of reflection results in a matte appearance with no clear reflection of an image.


What does it mean when you aren't wearing any sunglasses but your reflection in the mirror is?

It could be a play of light tricking your eyes or a reflection from another surface. Sunglasses do not have a presence of their own to affect your reflection.


What is angle of incidence and angle of reflection mean?

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the surface at the point of reflection. According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
