Hi...

Regular Reflection

The mirrors are very smooth polished pieces of metals or plastic which reflect all the light that falls on them , and the reflection appears to be behind the mirror , The surface of a clean mirror causes regular reflection , while the dirty mirror surface causes irregular manner .

We use the mirrors when checking our appearance or driving , They also play an important role in the telescopes , the microscopes , the cameras , and other optical ( light-based ) instruments .

Not only the mirrors make the reflections of light , Most objects reflect some of the light that falls on them , we see familiar objects like the grass , the trees , and the sky only because they reflect the light from the Sun into our eyes .
The regular reflection is the reflection of light rays when they meet ( fall on ) a smooth ( uniform ) and glistening surface , where the incident light rays are reflected in one direction .



When a beam of parallel light rays is incident on a smooth and plane surface , the reflected rays will also be parallel , and it is called the regular reflection .

The regular reflection takes place when the light rays are incident on a polished smooth surface like a plane mirror , a stainless steel sheet and a thin sheet of aluminum , so , the reflected rays of light move only in a fixed direction .

We are able to see a very clear reflection on the smooth surface , Every light ray is reflected perfectly from the surface and bounces back in a regular way , The reflected image is very clear and sharp .

Irregular Reflection

Irregular reflection is the reflection of light rays when they meet ( fall on ) a rough ( non-uniform ) reflecting surface , where the incident light rays are reflected in different directions .

When a beam of parallel light rays is scattered in all directions , So , the parallel rays incident on the surface will reflect in different directions , and it is called irregular or diffuse reflection .

Irregular reflection or diffused reflection takes place when the light rays are incident on a surface like a wall , the wood , a leaf of a tree , a piece of leather , a piece of paper or a piece of wool , which are not smooth or polished , so , the different portions of the surface reflect the incident light rays in different directions .

There is no definite image formed , but the surface becomes visible , It is commonly known as scattering of light , and diffused reflection makes non-luminous objects visible .

Not all the light rays which hits an object are reflected , Some of the incident light rays are absorbed ,The brightness of an object depends on the intensity of the incident light rays and also on the reflectivity of the object .

Hope it helps you. :-)

Please mark as brainliest answer. :-)

Regular reflection :- the bouncing of light from smooth surface.

diffuse reflection:- the bouncing of light into different direction from rough surface
