Reflection
Lower Sec Science · Secondary 1 · Hard · Reflection
A student shines a beam of light onto a sheet of metal that has been polished to be very smooth. She then repeats the experiment with the same metal but with a rough, scratched surface. Using the idea of reflection of light, which statement correctly describes what she will observe?
- Both surfaces reflect the same amount of light in the same direction.
- The smooth surface reflects more light in one direction than the rough surface.
- The rough surface reflects more light in one direction than the smooth surface.
- Only the rough surface reflects light; the smooth surface absorbs all the light.
