APFIVE Diffuse and Specular Reflection
A rough surface is examined at increasingly smaller scales using microscopy. At what scale would the physics of diffuse reflection begin to transition to specular reflection behavior?
A
When the incident light intensity exceeds a threshold
B
When the surface area exceeds the beam cross-section
C
When surface variations become smaller than the wavelength
D
When surface temperature reaches a critical value
