What will be the difference in highlights between smooth metal and rough stone?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Metal will have sharp highlights and stone will have broken dull highlights
The governing concept is specular reflection: a smooth surface reflects light in a more organized direction, while an uneven surface scatters it. Smooth metal can therefore show a concentrated, sharp highlight. Rough stone usually shows a wider, weaker, and broken highlight. Option A is correct; B ignores surface differences, C makes an unjustified claim, and D denies reflection.
