Surface scattering

Surface scattering refers to the way waves, such as light or radio waves, interact with a surface and reflect in different directions. When a wave hits a surface that’s uneven or textured, instead of bouncing straight back, it scatters in multiple directions. This process depends on the surface's roughness and material properties. Surface scattering affects how we see objects, how signals travel, and how radar or optical systems work, playing a key role in many fields like communications, remote sensing, and optical devices.
