Regular Reflection

The reflection that occurs when parallel light rays hit a smooth surface and every ray is reflected at the same angle

Real World Example

Imagine trying to stack a series of coins neatly on a perfectly level table. Just as each coin remains aligned and reflects the overall neatness of the stack when placed on a smooth surface, parallel light rays hitting a smooth surface during regular reflection behave similarly. In this analogy, the coins represent the parallel light rays, the level table is like the smooth reflective surface, and the aligned stack illustrates how each light ray is reflected at the same angle, maintaining order and consistency.
