When light bounces off an uneven surface the results?
When light bounces off an uneven surface, it scatters in random directions rather than reflecting uniformly like with a smooth surface. This scattering of light creates a matte or rough appearance on the surface, rather than a shiny or mirror-like reflection.
What kind of reflection will an uneven surface give off?
An uneven surface will give off a diffused reflection, scattering light in multiple directions. This diffuse reflection can reduce glare and create a more uniform lighting environment compared to a smooth, mirror-like surface.
Will a piece of wood scatter light?
Yes, as a matter of fact, there are several manufacturers that use wood veneers as shades for their lamps because of their light-scattering properties.
What type of surface reflects light the best?
A smooth and flat surface, such as a mirror or polished metal, reflects light the best because it provides a uniform and regular surface for light to bounce off of, resulting in minimal scattering. Rough or uneven surfaces tend to scatter light in multiple directions, reducing the amount of light that is reflected.
What is the term for reflection of a light wave from and uneven surface?
A wave reflecting from an irregular surface experiences what is called as Diffuse or irregular Reflection. If light is reflected from a smooth surface (think of a mirror) then it is called specular reflection. With diffuse reflection, light goes off from the surface in a range of directions which does not create a reflected image. In diffuse reflection, one sees basically a chaotic sampling of light reflected from the object emitting the light and so normally one can detect little about shape and only get information about the colors of the light source.

The scattering of light?
Scattering of light is called dispersion .

Describes when light bounces off a surface?
You have not given the alternatives, but this can be called reflection or scattering.
What happens when parallel light wave strike a rough uneven surface?
They reflect in many different directions
When dust particles and gases in the atmosphere reflect light in all directions this is a process called?
Omnidirectional Radiation. OR Scattering

What is it called when light bounces off an uneven surface?
when light 'bounces off' a surface, the technical term is that light is reflecting. if you're looking for the unscientific, descriptive word, it is scatter
What is reflection of light in random directions called?
It is called scattering light if it is in random directions, or refraction if the light changes direction.
When does the scattering of light occur?
Scattering occurs when radiation, sunlight, for example, strikes particles or other things, like raindrops, bubbles or even dust in the atmosphere. Scattering also happens to sound radiation and ultrasounds.
