Question -

Differentiate between regular and diffused reflection. Does diffused reflection mean the failure of the laws of reflection?



Answer -

S.No

Regular Reflection

Diffused Reflection

1.       

It occurs when the surface is smooth.

It occurs when the surface is a rough surface.

2.       

Reflected rays move in a particular direction.

Reflected rays scattered in random directions.

 

Example: Reflection by the plane mirror

Example: Reflection by the road surface.

The laws of reflectionhave not failed because each ray obeys the law of reflection. All the reflectedrays are parallel to each other, whereas in diffused reflection the rays aren’tparallel to the incident rays.
