What is specular?
A reflection that produces a clear image. Mirrors produce specular reflection.
What happens to light energy when it strikes a clear glass window?
The light is going to bounce off the window and the bouncing of light is called and reflection. So it will cause a reflection
How does reflection differ from refraction?
Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.
Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
What can you see your reflection in?
In a shiny pot, a shiny pan, other shiny cooking utensils and cooking-ware, a mirror, and in clear water.
What type of reflection shows a clear image?

What side of the table do you clear from?
The "side of the diner" - not "side of the table". One serves food by standing to the right of the person one is serving, and one clears by removing plates and cutlery when standing on the left of the person dining.

What is the difference between a specular and a diffuse reflection?
Specular reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface uniformly in a single direction, like a mirror. Diffuse reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface in many different directions, like a matte surface. Specular reflection creates a clear image, while diffuse reflection scatters light in all directions.
Why do objects appear visible and clear inside an open room during daytime?
it is because of diffused reflection,Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The light is going to bounce off the window and the bouncing of light is called and reflection. So it will cause a reflection
What light waves lets you see a sharp clear image of yourself in the water?
reflection
When does a surface reflect lights most clearly?
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.
