Type of reflection

Without light reflecting we would not be able to see anything. Light reflecting off a surface allows us to see objects. When a ray of light hits a surface, it bounces off or reflects and then reaches our eyes. This phenomenon by which a ray of light changes the direction of propagation when it strikes a boundary between different media through which it cannot pass is described as the reflection of light.Light reflects in two different ways, specular reflection and diffuse reflection.
Regular reflection :When a parallel beam of light falls on a smooth and highly polished surface, then the reflected beam is also parallel and directed in a fixed direction. Such reflection of light is called regular reflection.
null
Diffused reflection : When a parallel beam of light falls on a rough surface, then the reflected light is not parallel but spreads over wide area. Such reflection of light is called irregular or diffused reflection.
