When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
When light waves hit a rough surface they create what type of reflection?
When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
Do the light rays reflect in many directions or few on a rough surface?
They are reflected in many directions.
What is the reflection off a rough surface called?
diffuese
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 do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.

What kind of reflection is the reflection of light from a rough surface?
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object
What type of reflection results when light strikes a rough surface?
diffuse
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
Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
What occurs when rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
What occurs when parallel rays of light a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
