Answer:

The speed is the same as long as the reflection is regular.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in regular reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in accordance with the second law of reflection.

Since speed of light depends on the angle of the light ray it makes with the reflecting surface, the speed is the same
