What is it called when light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?

It is called diffuse reflection when light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles. This creates a scattered reflection rather than a clear, single reflection.


What effect does the material in which light rays travel have on the rays?

The material through which light travels can affect the speed and direction of the light rays. This is due to properties such as the density and composition of the material, which can cause refraction, reflection, absorption, or scattering of the light rays.

The scattering of light by colloids and susoenions is called the?

The scattering of light really is called scattering. If you are referring to a scattered reflection this can be called a diffuse reflection. Are you asking about different types of scattering such as Rayleigh scattering? Rayleigh scattering is an elastic type of scattering most well known for the blue color of the sky.

What is meant by the phrase 'light scattering'?

Light scattering is referred to as a form of scattering in which light is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Deflection of a ray from a straight path can be thought as light scattering.
