Parallel light rays which fall on a smooth surface(a mirror) are reflected as parallel rays. This is called REGULAR REFLECTION. Whereas, parallel rays which fall on an irregular surface(The ground) are reflected in different directions. This is called irregular reflection.

How does having smooth surfaces reduce friction?
Yes, as it is easier for whatever it is to travel.
What surfaces does sound travel through?
It travels best through solids
Can sound travel around corner?
Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.
What happens if you travel through time?
Nothing happens, because it's impossible.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
How do hovercraft travel through really rough surfaces?
They dont travel in wave or swells of more than 1 meter at worse They dont travel in wave or swells of more than 1 meter at worse
How flat or rugged a surface is?
A flat surface is smooth and even with minimal variation in height, while a rugged surface is uneven and has a lot of variations in height. Flat surfaces are generally easier to travel on and build structures on, while rugged surfaces pose challenges for navigation and construction.
What happens to waves when they travel through narrow slits?
the light goes through it and travels with each other.
Explain what happens when waves encounter a medium that they cannot travel through?
They reflect back.
What happens to speed of light when travel through plastic?
When light travels through anything that is not a vacuum, it will usually slow down.
What happens to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves as they travel through a denser medium?
The waves become smaller.
What happens when a radio wave and microwave meet in a wire?
Nothing, they don't travel through wires.
