Question Question 2
Differentiate between regular and diffused reflection. Does diffused reflection mean the failure of the laws of reflection?
| S. No. | Regular Reflection | Diffused Reflection |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | It occurs when the surface is smooth. | It occurs when the surface is rough. |
| 2. | Reflected rays move in a particular direction. | Reflected rays scatter in random directions. |
| 3. | Example: Reflection by plane mirror | Example: Reflection by cardboard. |
Diffused reflection is not due to the failure of the laws of reflection. It is caused by the irregularities in the reflecting surface, like that of a cardboard.
