Why can you see a trees reflection in water if the water is still but not when the water is disturbed?

Water can act like a mirror, but for you to see something in a mirror it has to be big enough, and angled in the right direction. Disturbed water will act like lots of small mirrors, pointing in every direction possible. Like trying to see something reflected in a disco ball.

Why can we see a reflection in the water when it is still but not when it is disturbed?
I think it is because the disturbed surface made the light waves reflect in many directions , breaking up the image.
Is surface of a pond a regular or diffused type of reflection?
In theory, a pond should be a regular reflection. Ponds are still water, so they should present a flat surface and a regular reflection in an ideal scenario. However, if the water is disturbed, such as by a boat passing over it or by strong winds, then the churning water would present a diffused reflection. So it depends on what's happening to the pond right now.
What is difference between reflection and reflection?
the difference between reflection and reflection, is nothing. they basically mean the same thing unless you are thinking of it in other terms. Answer Do you mean reflection and refraction, if so then reflection is the immage you see reflected back at you when you look in a mirror. Refraction is when a light wave is bent. When you put a straw in a glass of water, you will notice that the part of the straw in the water is out of line with the part of the straw above the water.
What is reflection with examples?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves. Some examples are a mirror, and water. :)
What direction do particles in water wave move?
Water is a very unique object in our galaxy. Water, when frozen actually expands and the molecules rotate in place. Water in the liquid state moves in ripples if disturbed. The force of the pressure from the object on the surface of water is the cause that makes the water move in that pattern. The disturbed H2O molecules move away from the area of pressure.

Why are the pools around the Taj Mahal important?
The pools around the Taj Mahal are basically reflection pools. If you see a picture of the Taj Mahal you can see the reflection of the building in the pools. Like most reflection pools the water is shallow and the water is not effected by fountain jets so that the reflection is kept still from any waves.
Is it safe to see the solar eclipse in the reflection of water?

Still water because you can see your reflection
How is the water cycle disturbed?
Ecological disturbances include: Fire,Flooding,windstorm Anthropogenic disturbances include; forest clearing & introduction of exotic species
What is the different between a reflection on mirror and water?
Reflection from water will occur only beyond the critical angle between air and water. Reflection from a mirror will occur at all angles.
