13.2. Reflection of Light http://www.ck12.org



  • law of reflection:The law of reflection says that the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals
    the angle at which it is reflected.

  • regular reflection:If a parallel beams of light falls on a smooth surface, the reflected beams are also parallel.

  • diffuse reflection:When the reflecting surface is rough, parallel incident beams of light would be reflected in
    non-parallel, random directions.
