Diffuse reflection is a feature of light reflected from a dull, and a non shiny surface. In this objects illuminated solely by diffusely reflected light exhibit an equivalent light intensity from all sighting directions. That is, in diffuse reflection light incident on the surface is reflected uniformly in all directions and is attenuated through an amount dependent on the physical properties of the surface. As light is reflected uniformly in all directions the perceived illumination of the surface is not dependent on the place of observer. The Diffuse reflection models the light reflecting properties of the matt surfaces that is, surfaces which are grainy or rough which tend to disperse the reflected light in all the directions. This dispersed light is termed as diffuse reflection.
