Parallel rays are uncommon…how do lenses work on regular objects?
Diffuse reflection: rough surface reflects light in many directions. Still obeys law of reflection, just scatters at many different angles. Paper Even flat surfaces like paper are not smooth to visible light. A flashlight beam shining on paper can be seen from most angles, not just the one complimentary to the incident.
Every part of the tree reflects light, scattering it all directions. A ray diagram is used to simplify this picture.
What type of image does Ernie make? • Real • Virtual • Upright • Inverted • Bigger • Smaller
