Light reflected from a metal surface with angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection. The dashed line is perpendicular to the surface.
Light reflection from a) smooth surface (specular reflection) and b) rough surface (diffuse reflection). In both cases the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection at the point that the light ray strikes the surface.
