Geometrical diffuse reflection is a common optical phenomenon that occurs when a reflecting surface has roughness of order of hundreds of micrometres. Light rays thus reflect uniformly in all ...

IN a recent letter, A. Taylor and D. Laidler 1 describe anomalous reflections to be found on photographs of graphite taken with cobalt Kα radiation, and suggest that these may be similar to the ...

This video explores the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. A specular reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth surface, creating a ...
