Diffuse and Specular Reflection - GCSE Physics

Ever wondered what the difference was between diffuse and specular reflection? Do you question why we would deliberately want one type of reflection over the other, or perhaps both at the same time? Look no further!

In this first of a new mini series of guitar-based physics, I start things off with looking at reflections from guitar finishes. Useful timestamps below:
