Question

1. Differentiate between regular reflection and diffused reflection
Draw diagrams to show the two types of reflections.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Regular reflection occurs at the surface of a plane surface like a plane mirror. Diffused reflection occurs at the surface of a rough surface like cardboard. Regular reflection occurs when light reflects off a very smooth surface and forms a clear image. Diffuse reflection occurs when light reflects off a rough surface and forms a blurry image or no image at all.

Answer 2

Regular reflection

1) In regular reflection, the reflected rays are parallel to each other.

2) Regular reflection occurs from a nicely polished regular reflective surface.

Diffused reflection

1) In diffused reflection, the reflected rays are not parallel to each other.

2) It occurs from a diffused or irregular surface.
