This lecture covers the practical aspects of lighting in computer graphics, including surface reflectance, the Phong lighting model, handling multiple light sources, and implementing shadows and reflections in a ray tracing framework. The instructor guides students through understanding the components involved, such as scene definition, ray intersection, and the computation of diffuse and specular light contributions.
