Specular Reflection Glare at Patricia Mcnair blog

Specular Reflection Glare. In the diagram below, a ray of light coming from the left is incident (or “incoming”). This causes what we call glare. Paper surfaces are easy to read off of because the. Here, the output angle can substantially deviate from the angle of incidence, and also depends on the optical wavelength, but there is again no diffuse reflection in the ideal case. Glare makes it hard for drivers to see. This results in more specular reflection from the car’s headlights. A modified form of specular reflection can occur on diffraction gratings. When light illuminates a mirror such as this, it is reflected. Most of the light hitting your piece is being reflected as diffused, softer light, but if the angle of light hits your work just right, it causes a. The best example of specular reflection is the reflection seen in a mirror. Other examples include glare and reflection on glass or lenses, or the sky reflecting off a still, clear lake. Reflection off of smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water leads to a type of reflection known as specular reflection. If the road is wet, the water makes the road surface smoother. Light that strikes the surface is diffused about the surface, illuminating the entire surface.
