Question
A wall reflects light and a mirror also reflects light. What difference is three in the way they reflect light?
Solution
| S.No. | Wall Reflected Light | Mirror Reflected Light |
| 1 | Light rays are reflected in all directions due to the rough surface. | Light rays are reflected in one direction only due to the smooth surface. |
