Specular and Diffuse Reflection
Reflection from most surfaces is diffuse, with
incoming light scattered in all directions.
Reflection from mirror surfaces is specular,
with light reflecting in one direction.

Check Yourself
What objects in this room radiate light?
Is the projector screen radiating visible light?
Is the screen diffuse or specular reflector?

Diffuse Surface is Not a Mirror
Light rays diffusely scatter in every direction
from every spot on the surface.
Look at this spot on
a diffuse surface
See a light ray from the
top of your head
reflected from this spot.
Also see light ray from
the tip of your nose
reflected from this spot.

Pinhole Camera
Small pinhole allows only small amount of
light in, blocking overlapping diffuse rays
and forming image inside the camera.

Camera Obscura
The camera obscura (room darkened) dates to ancient times; it was
first detailed in the writings of Leonardo da Vinci.
A room is completely sealed from light except for a coin-sized hole in
one wall. An image of the outside world appears projected, upside
down and reversed right-to-left, onto a wall opposite the opening.
A portable camera obscura, equipped with a mirror at a 45-degree
angle, reflects the image upward and focuses it on a viewing screen.

Water and glass are transparent but reflect
some of the light striking their surface.

Ray Tracing
Light ray from point A is reflected at point B
and arrives at point B.
Notice the relationship between point B (where the ray is reflected to) and
point B’ (where the ray would go if the mirror wasn’t there).

Refraction
Light rays bend (refract) passing from water
to air, making objects appear to be
shallower and closer to the observer.

Law of Refraction
Light passing from one
material to another is
refracted by a
fractional angle that
depends on the
optical density of
each material.
Angle is smaller in the
denser material.
