Briefly mention, which of the following will cause regular reflection of light and which diffuse reflection of light.

Polished wooden table

Regular reflection of light takes place.


When a ray of light fall on a surface and angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection (law of reflection hold true) we called regular reflection.


In case of polished wooden table law of reflection hold true because the surface is polished (smooth). Thus there will be a regular reflection.
