According to the condition of the problem, there isa shiny metal surface.\text{According to the condition of the problem, there is}\newline \text{a shiny metal surface.}

Glitter occurs when specular reflection of light from \text{Glitter occurs when specular reflection of light from }

 a surface occurs, for the most part occurring simultaneously\text{ a surface occurs, for the most part occurring simultaneously}

with diffuse reflection.\text{with diffuse reflection.}

In the case of diffuse reflection, the reflection occurs at an angle\text{In the case of diffuse reflection, the reflection occurs at an angle}

that differs from the incident one and does not necessarily lie in\text{that differs from the incident one and does not necessarily lie in}

the plane of the incident ray and the normal.\text{the plane of the incident ray and the normal.}


Answer: Some part of the light beam has a reflection \text{Answer: Some part of the light beam has a reflection }

angle different from the angle of incidence.\text{angle different from the angle of incidence.}
