'''Specular Reflection'''
 
</dt><BR/>[[Reflection|Reflection]] 
in which the reflected radiation is not diffused; reflection as from a mirror. 
Also called ''regular reflection, simple reflection. ''Compare [[Diffuse Reflection|diffuse 
reflection]]. 
</dd><BR/>''The angle between the normal to the surface and the incident beam is 
equal to the angle between the normal to the surface and the reflected beam. 
Any surface irregularities on a specular reflector must be small compared to 
the wavelength of the incident radiation. ''[[/a>|/a>
