Question

When you see your image on the surface of the water in a pond, which phenomenon is at work?

Answer 1

Answer:

Specular reflection

Explanation:

It is produced in very flat reflective surfaces as with mirrors. In this case the reflection takes place in only one direction thanks to which it is possible to form images.  This type of reflection obeys the law of reflection, so the angle of incidence of the rays is equal to the angle of reflection.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "Reflection".

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light ray gets reflected from the surface without getting transmit or absorb. It bounces back from the surface.

There are two laws of reflection.

(1) The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

(2) The reflected ray, the incident ray and the normal lie in the same plane.

When you see your image on the surface of the water in a pond, the reflection phenomenon is at work.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Reflection phenomenon".
