Explanation:

Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface. For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction.This is called specular reflection. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions. This is called diffuse reflection.

Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different directions.This happens when the surface is rough. Most of the things we see are because light from a source has reflected off it.

I hope it's help full

Explanation:

☆ We can see our images in the water of swimming pool because water is transparent in nature andthus, reflect much of the light fallen on it. …

☆ We see our face when the light from the reflector reaches our eye to form an image. But in moving water the light rays are reflected back in multiple directions due to turbulence and uneven surfaces . Hence an image is not formed.
