Here's a breakdown:
* Light: Electromagnetic radiation that our eyes can detect.
* Reflection: The process where light bounces off a surface.
* Reflected light: The light that has undergone reflection and is traveling away from the surface.
The way light reflects depends on the surface:
* Smooth surfaces: Reflect light in a predictable way, resulting in a clear image (e.g., a mirror). This is called specular reflection.
* Rough surfaces: Reflect light in many directions, resulting in a diffused image (e.g., a piece of paper). This is called diffuse reflection.
