Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light or other waves or particles from a surface such that a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection. An ideal diffuse reflecting surface is said to exhibit Lambertian reflection, meaning that there is equal luminance when ...
Nov 21, 2023 · Diffuse reflection occurs when light is reflected in various directions as it hits a surface. It takes place on rough and irregular surfaces. Specular reflection, on the other hand, occurs when ...
Mar 29, 2021 · Oversized or Diffuse Light Sources. Examples of oversized or diffuse light sources are the entire sky on an overcast day (sky light), light coming through large windows, and any light that is scattered by being translucently covered or blocked (like a paper lantern, a light sheet or cloth, an umbrella, or frosted glass covering for light bulbs).

Specular (literally "mirror-like") reflection creates the highlight as its most conspicuous expression (Figure 2.1). On our ball, as on most substances apart from the coloured metals like copper and gold, the specular reflection retains the colour of the (white) light source. The diffuse reflection is seen as the local colour of the surface (in ...
How bright the diffuse reflection is depends on how strongly and directly the light is hitting the object. On this ball, the light is hitting strongest here and that’s the brightest part in terms of the diffuse reflection. We could move the camera, and that would still be the brightest spot.
Transcript. Specular reflection, which occurs with smooth surfaces like mirrors, causes light rays to reflect at the same angle as they hit the surface. Diffuse reflection, which occurs with rougher surfaces, scatters light rays in different directions. The video also introduces double reflection, which occurs when light reflects off of one ...

Apr 27, 2014 · There is not a strong point of light, but multiple weaker lights and scattered clouds reflections. I present several works of paintings that have diffused light and, thanks to them, the feeling and meaning of the work are best achieved. Example 1 – Romanticism. Sunrise by Caspar David Friedrich. Not even necessary to describe how soft is the ...
