Which causes an object to become invisible, regular or diffused?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the conditions under which an object may become invisible, specifically focusing on the roles of regular and diffused reflection. The inquiry seeks to clarify which type of reflection contributes to the phenomenon of invisibility.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether invisibility is related to regular or diffused reflection.
  • Another participant notes that there are various reasons an object might become invisible and asks for clarification on the context of the question.
  • A repeated inquiry seeks to determine which type of reflection—regular or diffused—leads to invisibility.
  • A further response requests an example to better understand the type of invisibility being referenced.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus, as there are multiple interpretations of the question and no clear agreement on the definitions or contexts of "regular" versus "diffused" reflection.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific examples or definitions of "regular" and "diffused" reflection, which may limit the clarity of the inquiry.

When an object becomes invisible when it undergoes “regular” or “diffused” reflection?
 
Science news on Phys.org
There are many reasons for an object to become "invisible".
What was the context of your question?
 
I would like to know object undergoes invisible for which reflection, Regular or Diffused.

Your question is not translating very well. Can you provide a web pointer to an example of the kind of "invisibility" you are asking about?
