Here's a breakdown:
* Reflection: The process by which light bounces off a surface.
* Reflected light: The light that is bounced back from the surface.
The way light reflects depends on the surface:
* Smooth surfaces: Reflect light in a predictable, mirror-like way (specular reflection).
* Rough surfaces: Scatter light in many directions (diffuse reflection).
