Question
in which kind of reflection do the light rays maintain their relative position, allowing the image to be maintained?
In regular reflection, light rays hit a smooth surface. They follow the law of reflection (angle of incidence equals angle of reflection). Since the surface is smooth, the reflected rays maintain their relative positions. This allows for a clear image to be formed and maintained. In contrast, in diffuse reflection (on a rough surface), the reflected rays scatter in different directions and no clear image is maintained.
