Alyssa tried to concentrate on what the Professor was saying. She didn't know about the other students but she was struggling to catch up with him. Alyssa quickly scribbled down notes and looked back at at her reflection in the water in the bowl. She then raised her hand and asked, "Professor does this mean that in order for us to get a proper reading from a surface, the smoother the surface is, the more accurate the reading will be?"
