A surface will reflect light most clearly when that surface is completely smooth. Example of clear reflection: Look at the reflection on a lake when there is no wind or anything causing ripples or waves. The reflection is clear and objects reflected can be seen clearly. Example of distorted (unclear) reflection: Look at the same lake on a very windy day when there are many waves and other ripples on the waters surface. The reflections coming off the waters surface are hard or imposable to see due to the distortion of the reflection.
A flat, smooth surface like a mirror reflects a clear image. The surface should be free from distortions, scratches, and blemishes to ensure a sharp reflection. Making sure the mirror is clean and unobstructed will also help to achieve a clear image.
Light will bounce off the surface of a polished mirror in the same angle of incidence, but the way you see it, it's as if the image formed behind the mirror surface.
The bright red layer of the sun's surface containing hydrogen gas that can be seen is called the chromosphere. It lies just above the sun's visible surface, the photosphere, and is responsible for the red color seen during solar eclipses.

When the water's surface is rough, it causes light to scatter in various directions rather than reflecting directly back to your eyes, which distorts the image. This scattering effect breaks up the reflection of your image and prevents you from seeing a clear reflection of yourself in the water.
An optical effect, sometimes seen on the ocean, but more frequently in deserts, due to total reflection of light at the surface common to two strata of air differently heated. The reflected image is seen, commonly in an inverted position, while the real object may or may not be in sight. When the surface is horizontal, and below the eye, the appearance is that of a sheet of water in which the object is seen reflected; when the reflecting surface is above the eye, the image is seen projected against the sky. The fata Morgana and looming are species of mirage.

A concave lens can produce a real image for a virtual object by refracting light rays in such a way that they diverge as if they originated from a point behind the lens. This creates an image that can be projected onto a screen or surface. The lens helps spread out the light rays, creating a focused image that can be seen.
A virtual image can be seen on a screen when the light rays from the object converge to form the image on the screen, even though the image is not actually located at that point.

Surface waters of the Earth are typically referred to as "water bodies" or "water sources," which include oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and streams. These surface waters play a crucial role in supporting various ecosystems and human activities.
When light rays hit the surface of a flat mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle as they approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The image seen in the mirror is a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
The type of reflection seen in a mirror is specular reflection, which means that light rays are reflected at the same angle they hit the mirror's surface. This results in a clear and detailed image being reflected.
Ponds and lakes typically undergo turnover in the fall and spring. In the fall, cooling surface waters sink and mix with deeper, oxygen-rich waters. In the spring, warming surface waters mix with cooler, nutrient-rich waters.
