a reflection is formed when rays of light bounces off an object onto a smooth shiny surface (such that light rays are reflected off at the same angles) and reflects off it into our eyes.

when the surface is rough there wouldn't be a reflection as lights rays from an object is reflected off the rough surface at different angles and does not enter our eyes

How many images will be formed if two mirrors placed at 60 degree angle?

Three images will be formed when two mirrors are placed at a 60 degree angle. The multiple reflection of light rays creates these images due to the angle of reflection.

What type of reflection shows a clear image?

A specular reflection shows a clear image. This type of reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth and shiny surface, like a mirror, resulting in a well-defined and clear image being formed.


What Reflection from a smooth surface?

When light hits a smooth surface, it reflects in a predictable manner called specular reflection. This type of reflection results in a clear and well-defined image being formed. Examples of smooth surfaces that exhibit specular reflection include mirrors and still water surfaces.
