Discuss why in diffuse reflection, reflected rays with varying angles of reflection are scattered out in all directions.

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Diffuse Reflection**: - Diffuse reflection occurs when light strikes an irregular or rough surface. Unlike a smooth surface, which reflects light in a uniform direction, a rough surface scatters light in many directions. 2. **Surface Irregularities**: - An irregular surface has many different orientations at various points. This means that if we were to draw a normal line (a line perpendicular to the surface) at different points on the surface, these normal lines would not be parallel to each other. ...

Diffused Reflection

The angle of reflection in the following ray diagram ?

The angle between reflected ray and normal to the reflecting surface is

A ray incident from denser medium to rarer medium. If angle between reflected ray and refracted ray is 90^0 then angle angle of reflection r and angle of refraction r' will be respectively.

A ray of light is incident at an angle i from denser to rare medium. The reflected and the refracted rays are mutually perpendicular. The angle of reflection and the angle of refraction are respectively r and r'. Then the critical angle will be:

What is the angle between the reflected and refracted rays at polarizing angle ?

Write the value of angle of reflection for a ray of light falling normally on a mirror.
