Question
measuring to which type of surface can make a measurement with a laser inaccurate? wooden plastic dull, matte highly reflective
Laser measurement works by emitting a laser beam and measuring the time it takes for the beam to reflect back. A highly - reflective surface can cause the laser beam to reflect in multiple directions (scattering), or in some cases, the reflection might be too strong and cause sensor saturation. Wooden, plastic, and dull matte surfaces generally reflect the laser beam in a more predictable manner for the measurement system to calculate the distance accurately.
