Question

What happens to light rays when they strike an uneven surface from the same direction?
(1 Point)
They are transmitted in opposite direction.

They are reflected in different directions.

They are reflected in the same direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface. For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction. This is called specular reflection. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions.

Answer 2

Answer:

• They are reflected in different directions.

Explanation:

• When parallel light rays hit a bumpy surface, the bumps reflect the light rays at different angles. Light rays reflected at different angles cause scattered reflection. Many surfaces, for example, polished wood, are in between rough and smooth and create both types of reflection.
