Reflection of light
Answers
Reflection of light is the phenomenon of bouncing back of light in the same medium on striking the surface of any object.
Answer:
When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. ... If a perpendicular were to be drawn on a reflecting surface, it would be called normal.
Explanation:
• 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. Types of reflection. Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface.

Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface.• Two main types of reflection are often referred to – reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action.

This line is known as a normal line (labeled N in the diagram). The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles.
