Question
What is the difference between regular reflection of light and diffuse reflection of light?

Solution
| Regular Reflection | Diffused Reflection |
| In regular reflection, light is reflected in one direction only because of the smooth surface of the plane. | In diffused reflection, light is reflected in all directions because of the rough surface of the plane. |
