Here's a breakdown:

* Reflection is the phenomenon where light waves strike a surface and bounce back.

* The angle at which the light hits the surface (the angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it bounces back (the angle of reflection). This is known as the Law of Reflection.

* The type of surface affects how light is reflected:

* Smooth surfaces like mirrors reflect light in a regular way, creating a clear image. This is called specular reflection.

* Rough surfaces like a wall reflect light in many directions, creating a diffuse image. This is called diffuse reflection.
