Part 3

Question 2

There is less noise in regions of the floor where the specular highlight is very likely to reflect the yellow light source. Since the yellow light source is very large, in the area of floor where specular rays tend to reflect towards the yellow light, these rays are quite likely to intersect the yellow light. It's reflection is therefore consistently visible and noise is low.

The area of the floor whose specular highlight is very likely to reflect the blue light, however, has severe noise. Because the blue light is very small, few rays which reflect towards it actually intersect it and the blue light's reflection appears in few samples.
