==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Specular Reflection]] is when [[light]] 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').

|-
| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |[[Specular Reflection]] happens from a smooth surface. Parallel rays are '''reflected''' and stay parallel to one another.
|}
===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]].

==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Specular Reflection]] is when an [[Electromagnetic Wave]] bounces off the [[interface]] between a [[transparent]] [[medium]] and an [[opaque]] [[medium]] with a flat surface to produce an [[image]].
