The 12 pages that link to Diffuse reflection, each with the reason it gives.

• IridescenceCompared with: Diffuse scattering tends to suppress the sharply directional color shifts characteristic of iridescence.

• ReflectanceCompared with: It describes how rough surfaces distribute reflected energy rather than reflecting it in one direction.

• ReflectionBroader topic: It contrasts with mirror-like reflection, which preserves a narrow outgoing direction.

• Specular reflectionCompared with: It contrasts with the concentrated outgoing direction of specular reflection.

• Law of reflectionCompared with: Unlike a smooth mirror, roughness redirects rays across many surface normals.

• Angle of incidenceCompared with: Surface irregularities prevent one incidence angle from determining a single reflected direction.

• Integrating sphereRelated: Repeated diffuse reflections spread incoming radiation across the sphere's interior.

• Diffuse reflectanceRelated: It describes the directional redistribution that produces diffuse reflectance.

• Geometric albedoCompared with: A body's backscattering can make its geometric albedo differ from the diffuse reference disk.

• Projection screenRelated: Matte screens use diffuse reflection to provide broad, even visibility.

• Measurement geometry (spectrophotometry)Related: The component every geometry tries to capture reproducibly.

• Prism lightingCompared with: Unlike diffuse reflection, prism facets redirect light along controlled paths.
