* What happens: When light waves encounter a surface, they don't just pass through. Instead, they change direction and bounce back.
* Types of reflection:
* Specular reflection: This is what happens on smooth surfaces like mirrors. The light bounces off at a predictable angle, creating a clear image.
* Diffuse reflection: This is what happens on rough surfaces like walls or clothing. The light bounces off in many different directions, making the surface appear less shiny.
* Why it matters: Reflection is essential for how we see the world! It allows us to perceive colors, shapes, and textures.
