Question

proper definition of reflection of light

Answer 1

when a light ray incident on the surface of an object is sent back into the same medium ,it results in reflection ..

Answer 2

When a ray of light, travelling from a source, strikes the surface of an object, the following situations can arise :

1. A part of light may pass through the object ( transmission of light )

2. A part a light may be absorbed by the object (absorption of light )
