If the reflecting surface is very smooth, the reflection of light that occurs is called specular or regular reflection. The laws of reflection are as follows: The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence lie in the same plane.
Hope this helped! :)

Reflection is like looking in a mirror. You're seeing a reflection of yourself.
