specular reflection [′spek·yə·lər ri′flek·shən]

(physics)

Reflection of electromagnetic, acoustic, or water waves in which the reflected waves travel in a definite direction, and the directions of the incident and reflected waves make equal angles with a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface, and lie in the same plane with it. Also known as direct reflection; mirror reflection; regular reflection.
