I think it is because the disturbed surface made the light waves reflect in many directions , breaking up the image.
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.
This can happen if the water is disturbed, such as by wind or rain, which causes ripples on the surface that distort the reflection. Additionally, if the water is dirty or murky, it can hinder the reflection by scattering light instead of reflecting it clearly.
You can see a reflection in crystal-clear water because the smooth surface of the water acts like a mirror, reflecting light rays back to your eye. When the water is still and undisturbed, it creates a clear and crisp reflection of objects above it.
Yes, fish can see their reflection in the water.
You see a reflection in water because light gets bounced off an object and hits the water's surface, where it can either travel through or get reflected back. The smooth surface of the water allows for a clear reflection of the object.

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.
Still water because you can see your reflection
in very still water (river/lake) or camera photo
You see a reflection in water because light gets bounced off an object and hits the water's surface, where it can either travel through or get reflected back. The smooth surface of the water allows for a clear reflection of the object.
Anything that is not living cannot see you but you can still see them by the reflection of light
Yes, you can see your reflection in water if the surface is calm and smooth. This is because water is a reflective surface that can bounce light rays back to your eyes, allowing you to see your own image.
