Exercise
Specular and Diffuse Reflection
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the concepts of specular and diffuse reflection by experimenting with different surfaces and light sources, observing how angles and texture affect the way light interacts, and creating visual representations of their findings. Through hands-on activities and interactive discussions, learners will deepen their understanding of light behavior in the physical world.
