Question

Type of reflection in which images are formed and reflection occurs from a smooth surface like that of a mirror is known as:
A) Diffused reflection
B) Regular reflection
C) Irregular reflection
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: When the ray of light that approaches a smooth, polished surface, the ray of the light bounces back and it is called Reflection of the light. To determine the reflection of the incident rays that is reflected on the polished surfaces there are some laws and they are called as Laws of the reflection. There are different types of types of reflection. By knowing these types, the given question can be solved easily.

Complete answer:
Reflection is the process in which the light ray that approaches on the smooth surface or a polished surface, the light ray will get bounced back. The incident ray that lands upon the surface is called as reflected off the surface. The bounced back ray of light is called the Reflected ray. The perpendicular line if drawn on a reflecting surface then the line is called Normal.
There are different types of reflection. They are classified based on their reflection. The different types of the reflection are:
> Regular reflection
> Diffused reflection
> Multiple reflection
The regular reflection is also called a specular reflection. In this type of reflection, the image that is formed after the reflection will look exactly the same as the image formed in the mirror. A glass that is coated with a uniform layer of highly reflective materials like powder is called a mirror.
Other than mirrors the reflecting surfaces are basically rough. It is because of the wear and tear like scratches or the surface dirt or dents. The reflection that occurs on those surfaces is called diffused reflection.
When multiple images are formed after the reflection is called the Multiple reflection.
From the above given options, the type of the reflection that produces the reflected image similar to that of the mirror is called Regular reflection.
Therefore, the correct option is (B).

Note: We see the number of images that is formed is dependent majorly on the angles between two mirrors. If the distance between the mirrors decreases the image numbers increase. When the mirrors become parallel, that is the distance between the mirrors becomes zero, the numbers of the images become infinite.
