| 1. | Many common materials exhibit a mixture of specular and diffuse reflection.
|
| 2. | In diffuse reflection, radiation is reflected equally in all directions.
|
| 3. | Diffuse reflection also takes on the color of the object itself.
|
| 4. | But diffuse reflection is modified by the spectral characteristics of the material.
|
| 5. | Speckle patterns typically occur in diffuse reflections of monochromatic light such as laser light.
|
| 6. | In computer graphics, Lambertian reflection is often used as a model for diffuse reflection.
|
| 7. | Reflected light can be divided into two sub-types, specular reflection and diffuse reflection.
|
| 8. | An example of the distinction between specular and diffuse reflection would be glossy and matte paints.
|
| 9. | Diffuse reflections are not as distracting.
|
| 10. | Fresnel reflection is directional and therefore does not contribute significantly to albedo which is primarily diffuse reflection.
