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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the reflected rays are also parallel as the parallel incident rays are, the reflection is called regular reflection. The regular reflection takes place when incident rays fall on the smooth and plane surface like a plane mirror having no defect.
When the parallel incident rays fall on a plane mirror having rough and topsy-turvy surface, after reflection the rays do not remain parallel. This reflection is called diffused reflection. No, diffused reflection is not the failure of the laws of reflection.
