What occurs when light hits an irregular surface?
It diffuses.
What kind of reflection occurs when light hits an irregular surface?
diffuse reflection
What reflection occurs when light hits an irregular surface?
Each ray of light is reflected according to the rules for a regular surface. But, because the surface is irregular, the direction of the reflected ray will vary from one point to another. This is called scattering.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
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
What occurs when light hits a polished surface?
It is reflected.

What occurs when light hits a polished surface?
It is reflected.
What occurs when a parrellel rays of light hits a rough surface?
The light rays are deflected off at the same angles as the angles on the rough surface.
Why are diffuse reflections formed?
Diffuse reflections are formed when light hits a rough or irregular surface, causing it to scatter in different directions instead of reflecting in a single direction like a mirror. This scattering occurs because the surface is not flat and smooth enough to reflect light uniformly, resulting in a diffused reflection where light is reflected in multiple directions.
A beam of light enters a fish tank hits the mirrored surface of the bottom and then comes out at the top what hampens?
reflection, refraction, and reflection occurs because of how the beam of light hits. and where it hits.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What occurs when light hits an object?
Light can either be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it hits something.
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
What Reflects the light in the direction it hits the surface?
mirror
