when one distubed still water we no more can visualize uniform reflection and light rays coming from your face to the water surface gets reflected in random directions which our eye can't catch at a time

i. There exists a direct relation between the reflection of light and the blurring of images.
ii. In still water, we can see a perfect reflection and in moving water, we can see a distorted reflection.
iii. The laws of reflection are followed in this situation.
Explanation:
- Water is a reflective object and when water is kept very still it almost acts as a mirror.
- The light is reflected from its surface and reaches the eye of the viewer in perfect parallel angles and as a result, clear images can be seen.
- However, when a stone is thrown into the river it creates ripples and the surface of the water moves and the light thrown by the source gets deflected to different angles and a partial image can be caught by the viewer. This instance is of a distorted reflection.
