Specular reflection is the mirror-like reflection of light (or other waves) from a surface, where incoming light rays are reflected at specific angles. This phenomenon occurs on smooth surfaces, such as a calm body of water, glass, or shiny metal. In specular reflection, the angle at which the incoming light strikes the surface (the angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it is reflected (the angle of reflection).
