==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Specular Reflection]] is when an [[Electromagntic Wave]] bounces off a flat surface to produce a an [[image]].
===About Specular Reflection===
: [[Specular Reflection]] happens from a shiny surface and makes an [[image]] (you can see a 'reflection').

===The Law of Reflection===
: The Law of '''reflection''' states that the [[Angle of Incidence|angle of incidence]] is equal to the [[Angle of Reflection|angle of reflection]].
