@SeagullDesign No, angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence, even in diffuse reflection. The reason why you get diffuse reflection is that the apple's surface is not 100% smooth at a microscopic level. The surface is rough, so when the light rays hits the apple, they will be reflected in all directions. They always follow the law of reflection.

So in diffuse reflection, the angle of relfection is not equal to the angle of incidence? And the difference between the angle of incidence and reflection is related to the apple absorbing all of the visible specturm except for red (in the parts of the apple that are red), which is then reflected at a different angle than white light would be reflected?

I like the fact that he writes with the writing pen instead of the mouse. (:

Nice Upgrade

you are REALLY good at drawing those faces!! (among other things, of course!)

we should probably build a temple for Mr.Khan and worship him. Our bible will be textbook, our practice will be solving some equations. ;P

The specular and diffuse reflection concepts are used all the time in computer animation. So those of you in school and interested in going into computer animation, games or virtual realities, you'll use these concepts later.

Great video. It's fantastic to have a deeper understanding of the universe.
