Specular reflection, or regular reflection, is the mirror-like reflection of waves, such as light, from a surface. The law of reflection states that a...

Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection (for example at a mirror)...

Specularity is the visual appearance of specular reflections. In computer graphics, it means the quantity used in three-dimensional (3D) rendering which...

It involves measuring the polarization state of light following specular reflection from such a surface. This is typically done as a function of incidence...

Specular reflection, or reflected illumination is just like patches of reflection seen on sunlit lake water surface. To achieve specular reflection,...

to direct transmission for a transmissive diffraction grating or specular reflection for a reflective grating is called the zero order, and is denoted...

glossmeter (also gloss meter) is an instrument which is used to measure specular reflection gloss of a surface. Gloss is determined by projecting a beam of light...

surfaces can be divided into those that give specular reflection and those that give diffuse reflection. For specular surfaces, such as glass or polished metal...
