Specular reflection is the reflection of light from a surface where at the point of reflection an incident beam is reflected at (and only at) an angle equal to the angle of incidence (both taken with respect to the perpendicular at that point. Such behavious is described by Snell's law. This is in contract to Diffuse reflection.
