Question

Which type of reflection will take place when light is incident on a highly polished surface?

• A. Irregular
• B. Regular
• C. Diffused
• D. Normal

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Regular

When a parallel beam of light strikes a smooth and polished surface and all the light rays are reflected as a parallel beam of light in a definite direction, it is called regular reflection. Regular reflection results in the formation of clear images. Mirrors, still water surfaces, oiled surfaces and highly polished surfaces cause regular reflection.
