Why does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
It reflects in different directions because its rough, there is many sides so the light reflects of the sides causing it to reflect in different directions.
Is it true that diffuse reflection occurs when light is reflected in many directions from a rough surface such as a grassy area?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
How many colours to make white colour?
White is not a colour ... it is the absence of all color. White is a mixture of all coloured light, all colours are a reflection of light. The first thing to disappear when the light goes down is colour. In total darkness there is no light to reflect.
Why angle of incidence is taken with the normal in reflection of light?
In the case of reflection, it makes little difference whether it is the angle with regard to the normal or the tangent to the surface since these are simply complementary angles. However, when studying refractions, there is a simpler relationship in the direction of the light ray in terms of the angle relative to the normal.Furthermore many mirrors do not reflect at their surface: the light ray travels through some thickness of glass before hitting the reflecting surface, and the travels through a the medium again before returning to the basic medium: air. There may be times - particularly with thicker glass - when refraction needs to be factored into the calculation of the path of the light beam.
How many reflections in right octagonal prism?
There need not be any since the light entering the prism should leave it without leaving a reflection.
Do the light rays reflect in many directions or few on a rough surface?
They are reflected in many directions.
A rough surface reflects light in many directions.?
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.
Why does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
It reflects in different directions because its rough, there is many sides so the light reflects of the sides causing it to reflect in different directions.
Why can we see a reflection in the water when it is still but not when it is disturbed?
I think it is because the disturbed surface made the light waves reflect in many directions , breaking up the image.
Some objects reflect light without sending it off in many directions this is called a?
The phenomena of sending back of light is called reflection of light. And the surfaces which reflects light back are called reflecting surfaces.
Do the light rays reflect in many directions on a rough surface?
No this is not true.
Occurs when light is reflected in many directions from a rough surface?
Diffuse reflection
When light strikes a rough surface it is reflected in many directions This is known as?
Diffuse reflection
When a rough surface causes light rays to be reflected in many directions what reflection occurs?
Randomized.
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
Do light rays reflect many directions on a smooth surface?
Wherever a light ray hits the reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at that point, so if the surface is bumpy, and the normal to it is different directions in different places, then light rays will reflect in several directions. But if the surface is really a smooth plane, then every light ray that is incident in the same direction will reflect in the same direction. The whole art and science of controlling where reflected light rays go is really the ability to control the shape of the reflecting surface, and the normal to it at different points on it.
Is it true that diffuse reflection occurs when light is reflected in many directions from a rough surface such as a grassy area?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
