Here's a breakdown:
* Reflection: When light strikes a surface, it changes direction and bounces back. The angle at which the light hits the surface (angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it bounces back (angle of reflection).
There are two main types of reflection:
* Specular reflection: This occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface, like a mirror, and all the reflected rays travel in the same direction.
* Diffuse reflection: This occurs when light reflects off a rough surface, like a piece of paper, and the reflected rays scatter in many directions.
Reflection is a fundamental property of light and plays a crucial role in how we see the world around us.
