==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Diffuse Reflection]] is when an [[Electromagnetic Wave]] bounces off the [[interface]] between a [[transparent]] [[medium]] and an [[opaque]] dull [[medium]] in different directions.
===About Diffuse Reflection===
: [[Diffuse Reflection]] happens from a rough surface that has many tiny bumps and dips.
: [[Diffuse Reflection]] is how we see all [[object]]s.
: [[Diffuse Reflection]] does not produce an [[image]].
: [[Diffuse Reflection]] still follows the [[Law of Reflection]] even though it appears not to because the surface is not perfectly flat. This means parallel [[Incident Ray|incident rays]] reach the surface at different [[angle]]s due to all the bumps and dips. Each individual [[ray]] follows the [[Law of Reflection]] but [[parallel]] [[Incident Ray|incident rays]] do not leave in the same direction as each other.
