TYPES OF
REFLECTION
1. Regular reflection
2. 2. Diffused
reflection
Regular reflection:
It occurs when a beam of parallel rays
fall on a smooth surface.
In this case, the reflected rays are also
parallel to each other.
It happens because the points of
incidence of the incident rays are in the
same straight line (along the
surface).The normals at the points of
incident are also parallel to one
another.
Diffused reflection:
It occurs when a beam of parallel rays fall
on a rough surface.
In this case, due to the curvatures in the
surface, the reflected rays are not parallel
to each other.
It happens because the points of incidence
of the incident rays are not in the same
straight line (along the curved surface).
The normals at the points of incident are at
different directions causing the reflected
rays making angles among themselves,
resulting in not being parallel to each other.
