Consider two statements about diffused reflection: (I) diffused, irregular reflection lets a closed room receive light even without direct sunlight entering, and (II) since the reflected rays aren’t parallel, diffused reflection does not follow the laws of reflection at all. Which is correct?

1. Consider two statements about diffused reflection: (I) diffused, irregular reflection lets a closed room receive light even without direct sunlight entering, and (II) since the reflected rays aren’t parallel, diffused reflection does not follow the laws of reflection at all. Which is correct?

 

A rough surface still obeys the law of reflection at every individual point — it’s just that each tiny point has a differently angled normal, scattering parallel rays in many directions. So statement II is false, even though diffused light genuinely does illuminate rooms indirectly.
