This is interesting as it physically explains the difference between matte and glossy surfaces. I wonder what is the underlying chemistry or physics that explains why a surface is matte or glossy.

Because of this lecture, I came to understand that the basic lighting that we see on common objects is more complex than just "brightness" or "reflection." The Blinn-Phong model explains that there are several additive layers of lighting/shading that contribute to the overall effect of light on an object.
