What is diffuse interreflection?
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.
Reflection off of rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, and the asphalt roadway leads to a type of reflection known as diffuse reflection. Whether the surface is microscopically rough or smooth has a tremendous impact upon the subsequent reflection of a beam of light.
Reflection of light from smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water leads to specular reflection while reflection off of rough surfaces such as clothing, or paper, leads to diffuse reflection.

Mar 21, 2023 · What is Diffuse Reflection? Diffuse reflection is a type of reflection where light is reflected uniformly in all directions. It occurs when light falls on a rough surface and is scattered in many directions. The surface is irregular and doesn’t reflect light in a predictable manner.
This is called diffuse reflection. The exact form of the reflection depends on the structure of the material. One common model for diffuse reflection is Lambertian reflectance, in which the light is reflected with equal luminance (in photometry) or radiance (in radiometry) in all directions, as defined by Lambert's cosine law.
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 surface and then reflects off of another surface before reaching your eye.
