light diffusion
Spreading rays evenly
Light diffusion is the scattering of light rays as they pass through or reflect off a surface, softening shadows and reducing glare.
Photographers use diffusion panels to create flattering, even illumination: The softbox provides beautiful light diffusion for portraits.
Frosted glass diffuses light, spreading it across a room rather than letting it beam directly through.
