It is called scattering light if it is in random directions, or refraction if the light changes direction.

Reflection of light into random directions is called?

The directions would not be random, they would be determined by the index of refraction and the incidence ray. I'm assuming your talking of refraction which is when light changes its projected angle when traveling through a different substances which light travels different speeds. However if referring to a mirror, then it is simply called reflection.

When a rough surface causes light rays to be reflected in many directions what reflection occurs?

Diffuse reflection occurs when light rays strike a rough surface and get reflected in random directions. This type of reflection results in a matte appearance and does not produce a clear image.


What image is formed in diffused reflection?

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.


What is the reflection of light from a rough surface called?

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.


What occurs when parallel rays of light hit rough or bumpy surface?

diffuse reflection


What is a word for reflection of light in all directions?

reflection


Do the light rays reflect in many directions or few on a rough surface?

Light rays reflect in many directions on a rough surface due to the uneven nature of the surface, which causes the rays to scatter in various directions rather than reflect uniformly as with a smooth surface.


When light hits a rough surface and is reflected it is called reflection.?

Yes, when light hits a rough surface and is reflected in many different directions, it is called diffuse reflection. This type of reflection occurs when the surface is not smooth and causes the light to scatter.
