What gives metals their Lustre?
One of my books(living science chemistry by arun syamal) says that the electrons achieve a higher energy state by absorbing energy and come back to their ground state by emitting it of which light is a part but my teacher tells that it is due to the crystalline structure which reflects light. But then why doesn't diffuse reflection occur? Why specular reflection?
