Question

What is most likely to happen to a beam of light when it reflect from s shiny metallic surface at an arbitory angle

Answer 1

$\text{According to the condition of the problem, there is}\newline \text{a shiny metal surface.}$

$\text{Glitter occurs when specular reflection of light from }$

$\text{ a surface occurs, for the most part occurring simultaneously}$

$\text{with diffuse reflection.}$

$\text{In the case of diffuse reflection, the reflection occurs at an angle}$

$\text{that differs from the incident one and does not necessarily lie in}$

$\text{the plane of the incident ray and the normal.}$

$\text{Answer: Some part of the light beam has a reflection }$

$\text{angle different from the angle of incidence.}$
