This video tutorial by Mr. H explores the concepts of specular and diffuse reflection. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by a detailed explanation of the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The video then delves into specular reflection, where light reflects off smooth surfaces, maintaining a concentrated beam. In contrast, diffuse reflection occurs on rough surfaces, scattering light in various directions. The tutorial concludes with a comparison of the two reflection types, emphasizing that both follow the law of reflection, and provides an action plan for further learning.
