Light Reflection

On Tuesday, we looked into the two different types of reflection, regular reflection and diffuse reflection.

1. Regular Reflection is when light rays all reflect at the same angle.

2. Diffuse Reflection is when light rays all reflect at different angles.

Laser Reflection Activity

We did an activity with laser pointers to see which types of surfaces have a regular reflection and a diffuse reflection: smooth, rough, shiny, and/or dull. 

We found out that smooth and shiny surfaces have a regular reflection, whereas rough and dull surfaces have a diffuse reflection.
