caption_attribution_description: English: Scattering of the incident light beam about the specular direction generating what is called "haze". The components reflected in the specular direction are considerably attenuated compared to the case of a purely specular reflection without scattering. The scattering effects a reduction of glare (anti glare treatment).
context_page_description: The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of reflected or transmitted light described by attributes like glossy, shiny versus dull, matte, clear, turbid, distinct, etc.
caption: Figure 2B: Reflection haze, the incident light beam is scattered about the specular direction. The intensity of reflection in the specular direction is reduced.
