Question

1. What do you understand by the term Reflection of Light? Name two objects which can reflect light.

2. What do you mean by Rectilinear Propagation of Light?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection

Explanation:

Rectilinear propagation describes the tendency of electromagnetic waves (light) to travel in a straight line. Light does not deviate when travelling through a homogeneous medium, which has the same refractive index throughout; otherwise, light suffers refraction

Answer 2

Answer:

1. the phenomenon due to which the light eay on striking some surface reflects back is called refraction

example mirror
