Specular and Diffuse Reflection: Understanding Reflection of Light

The video tutorial explains the two types of reflection: specular and diffuse. It begins with the law of reflection, stating that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Specular reflection occurs on smooth surfaces like mirrors and still water, where light reflects in a single direction, producing clear images. Diffuse reflection happens on rough surfaces, scattering light in multiple directions, preventing image formation but allowing the surface to be visible. Examples of both types are provided to illustrate these concepts.
