Light rays are refracted and reflected through and from rough water as though from multiple microcosms of water with multiple and complex surfaces. The rays are refracted and reflected randomly in many directions causing images to distort chaotically and to appear unclear or unrecognizable. The distortion of the images can be so severe that only the rough surface of the water is noticeable.

Why cant you see a clear image of yourself on a rough surface?

Rough surfaces scatter light rays in different directions, causing reflections to get distorted. This scattering prevents a clear image from forming because the reflection is not coherent or organized. Smooth surfaces, like mirrors, reflect light rays in an organized manner, allowing a clear image to be seen.


Why cant you see an image reflected by a piece of paper?

Paper is not a good reflector of light due to its rough and irregular surface, which causes light to scatter in different directions instead of reflecting back in a focused manner like a mirror. This scattering of light results in a blurry and distorted reflection that makes it difficult to see a clear image.


Why cant you see your reflection when you look through a white rough surface?

When you look at a white rough surface, the light reflecting off of your face scatters in different directions rather than reflecting back to your eyes in a clear and organized manner. This scattering of light prevents you from seeing a clear reflection of yourself, as the light is not being focused back to your eyes in a coherent way.


If your face is 20cm in front of a mirror what is the image of your face?

no of course not sheesh like are you dumb??? wow I cant believe people are asking these questions these days


How can you use a screen to determine whether an image is real or virtual?

You can't determine whether an image is real or virtual just by looking at it on a screen - both types can appear identical. To determine if an image is real or virtual, you would need additional information such as its source or creation process.
